Celine Dion’s health status has been making headlines since the singer revealed earlier in 2023 that she has a serious condition that’s preventing her from taking the stage.

In May 2023, the 55-year-old pop legend announced that she was canceling the remaining dates on her Courage World Tour, including those in 2024, writing that the scheduling change came with a sense of “tremendous disappointment.” Just five months prior, Dion had revealed that she’d been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome, which can lead to stiffness in the body, as well as spasms.

Dion choosing to share her diagnosis isn’t the first time the star has spoken publicly about her health — or rumors of health struggles. She’s been open about her decision to use in vitro fertilization to conceive her three children, and she’s addressed eating disorder rumors.

How is Celine Dion doing in 2023?

Dion last opened up about her health status in May 2023. At the time that she announced that she was canceling the rest of her tour, she also shared about her efforts to manage her stiff person syndrome, especially when it comes to performing. 

On her website, Dion wrote that she’s “working really hard to build back (her) strength,” adding that touring can be very challenging even for people in peak health. But, she stressed that she’s “not giving up” and is determined to return to the stage at some point. “I can’t wait to see you again!” she told fans in her message.

Prior to her stiff person syndrome diagnosis, Céline’s last major projects were the earlier dates in her Courage World Tour — she completed 52 performances in North America — and filming her first movie in 2021. She starred as herself in “Love Again” alongside Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan. Dion also recorded several songs for the film’s soundtrack, including the ballad “Love Again.”
