The songstress revealed in 2022 that she was diagnosed with what the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describe as “a rare, progressive syndrome that affects the nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord”.

“While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” Dion had said in her announcement, revealing she had also cancelled the remainder of her world tour.

“Unfortunately, these spasms 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.”
