Celine Dion has shared that she has a rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome in an emotional video she posted to Instagram on Thursday.

The singer revealed that she had been dealing with health issues for a long time and that she was recently diagnosed.

While were still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is whats been causing all of the spasms that Ive been having, she said in the clip, appearing to fight back tears. Unfortunately, these 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 that Im used to.

Dion said her condition has caused her to postpone the spring 2023 shows in the European leg of her world tour to 2024, and cancel eight of her summer shows from May to July. Some of the spring 2023 dates had previously been postponed due to her health concerns .

I have a great team of doctors working alongside me to help me get better, she said in the video. And my precious children, who are supporting me and giving me hope.

Im working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, she continued. But I have to admit, its been a struggle.

Dion added that singing is what she loves to do the most, but that she is concentrating on her health.

I have hope that Im on the road to recovery, she later said.
