[Celine Dion has revealed she has been
diagnosed with
Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS),
a rare neurological disorder with features
of an autoimmune disease.
The French Canadian singer told her
5.2m Instagram followers the condition
makes her muscles spasm uncontrollably.
It has also left her with difficulties walking
and singing, she said, meaning she
will be unable to play planned shows
in the UK and Europe next year.
"I've been dealing with problems with
my health for a long time," said Dion.
"And it's been really difficult for me to face
these challenges and to talk about
everything that I've been going through,"
the 54-year-old continued in an
emotionally-charged video.
"Recently I've been diagnosed with
a very rare neurological disorder called
the stiff person syndrome which affects
something like one in a million people.
'While we're still learning about this
rare condition, we now know this is
what's been causing all of the spasms
I've been having."]
