LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Singer Celine Dion has revealed that she suffers from a neurological disorder known as the stiff person syndrome that reportedly affects one in a million people. The side effects of the condition have caused the artist to cancel several shows including the possibility of never returning to the stage. Insiders worry about who is taking care of her since the 'I'm Alive' hitmaker relied on her late husband Rene Angelil for everything.

Along her Las Vegas strip, Vegas journalist Scott Roeben told Page Six about rumors that Dion "would not be returning to live to perform — maybe ever at all." Dion, who owes much of her estimated $470 million fortune to Vegas shows, addressed all the gossip on Thursday, December 8, with an emotional video shared on her social media. The singer announced to her fans that her rising health issues have caused her to postpone or cancel her summer 2023 shows to 2024. However, according to Roeben things are "serious" and Dion does not "want people to be unnecessarily concerned."
