She doesn\u2019t have as much control over her muscles as she did before, but she\u2019s working with doctors and physical therapists to get better,\u201d a source \u200btold Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> on Friday, December 22. \u201cC\u00e9line has been taking time to focus on her health but plans to take the stage again once she is given the go-ahead by her medical team.\u201d<\/p>\n A second source added, \u201cShe\u2019s staying positive and upbeat and doing her physical therapy every day. Getting back on stage in some form is her constant dream, even if she can no longer sing; she just wants to see those shining faces.\u201d<\/p>\n C\u00e9line, 55, revealed her diagnosis in an emotional video she posted to Instagram<\/a> on December 8, 2022.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it\u2019s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I\u2019ve been going through,\u201d she wrote in the caption. \u201cIt hurts me to tell you that I won\u2019t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cThe 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\u2019m used to.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cAll By Myself\u201d singer also penned a note to fans on her website<\/a> regarding the canceling of her upcoming shows.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again. I\u2019m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you\u2019re 100%,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it\u2019s best that we cancel everything now until I\u2019m really ready to be back on stage again. I want you all to know, I\u2019m not giving up\u2026 and I can\u2019t wait to see you again!\u201d<\/p>\n Previously, C\u00e9line\u2019s sister, Claudette Dion<\/strong>, said that not much was known about stiff person syndrome because \u201cscientists\u201d haven\u2019t done \u201cthat much research because it didn\u2019t affect that many people.\u201d She also gave fans an update<\/a> on the Grammy award winner\u2019s health.<\/p>\n \u201cShe works hard, but she doesn\u2019t have control of her muscles,\u201d Claudette, \u200b74, told 7Jours<\/em><\/a> on December 12. \u201cWhat pains me is that she has always been disciplined. She always worked hard. The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
