Celine Dion and her son at the opening ceremony of the film

Dion previously broke down as she revealed that she secretly battled stiff person syndrome for 17 years before revealing it to the public, admitting that ‘lying’ to her fans was ‘too much’ for her to bear. The singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with the rare autoimmune neurological disorder in 2022, but now, she has shared that she had been grappling with the horrific condition in secrecy for nearly two decades before she told the world about it. During a preview for an upcoming sit-down with Today show host Hoda Kotb, she detailed the pain of having to hide the disorder from her supporters.
