Dion canceled her tour dates in response to her health struggle, explaining that the symptoms she experiences with SPS do indeed impact her ability to perform. “Unfortunately, these spasms [caused by SPS] affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to,” she said. Celine Dion revealed her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome in December 2022 before canceling her upcoming tour dates indefinitely in May 2023. In December 2023, a year after her big reveal, the singer’s sister, Claudette Dion, shared a health update on her sibling’s behalf.
