Claudette, aged 74, expressed the family’s helplessness in the face of this debilitating condition. “It’s an illness we know so little about,” she said. “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. There’s little we can do to support her, to alleviate her pain. We’re crossing our fingers that researchers will find a remedy for this awful illness.”
Although there is no cure for Stiff Person Syndrome, there are treatments available to slow down its progression. Despite the challenges, Celine is demonstrating remarkable resilience and remains committed to her fans.
In an emotional message shared on social media, Celine apologized to her fans for the tour’s cancellation and explained her current health status. She emphasized her determination to regain her strength and return to the stage, saying, “I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!”
