JAKARTA - Singer Celine Dion revealed that she had been diagnosed with a neurological condition or rare nerve disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome. This condition causes stiffness and seizures in some muscles in the body and this cannot be cured.
Medical experts say it only happens to about one or two people in a million population. In connection with the diagnosis, Dion announced that he canceled plans to restart his European tour in February.
"This impact affects every aspect of my daily life, sometimes it causes difficulty while walking and it doesn't allow me to use the sound band to sing as usual," Dion said as quoted by Deadline, Friday.
Dion said he would continue to seek recovery with the media team and their families.
"I work hard with sports medicine therapists every day to rebuild my strength and ability to be able to perform again But I have to believe, this is a struggle," he was quoted as saying by ANTARA.
In the video uploaded via his social media page, the singer of My Heart Will Go On takes a lot of long breaks while talking, crying and calming down again. His voice was repeatedly heard breaking.
"All I know is singing. That's what I've been doing my whole life and that's what I love the most. I miss you so much. I miss seeing you all, being on stage, performing for you," said Dion.
"I have no choice but to concentrate on my current health. And I hope to recover soon," he continued.
