Celine Dion made a bold appearance at the 2024 Grammys on February 4.
Despite being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, the fifty-five-year-old star presented the album of the year to Taylor Swift.
Stiff-person syndrome, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks healthy tissue, is extremely rare and affects more women than men.
Celine didn’t perform but gave a moving speech about the power of music, receiving a standing ovation.
Behind the scenes, she harmonized with Sonyae Elise in a video posted to Instagram.
Celine spoke about her journey, stating that the past couple of years have been a challenge but she’s learning not to let her condition define her.
As she continues her road to resuming her performing career, she’s raising awareness for this little-known condition.”
