Celine Dion looks happy and healthy as she shares rare update amid SPS battle

Celine Dion looked happy and healthy in her latest Instagram post as she wished her followers a happy Thanksgiving amid her battle with stiff person syndrome.

“Dear friends. Today is a beautiful reminder to slow down, take a deep breath and give thanks,” she opened the clip on Thursday, looking directly at the camera.

“There’s something so powerful about gathering with the people you love, whether around the full table, over the phone or even just in your heart.”

“I’m so thankful to my family and our moments together that mean the world to me,” the “My Heart Will Go On” hitmaker, 57, continued.

“May your thanksgiving be filled with joy, with peace and with gratitude for everything. Even the little things. Happy thanksgiving, from me and my family… to you and yours.” she closed.

The singer captioned the post with a message that read: “Wishing everyone a beautiful and peaceful Thanksgiving! May your day be filled with love, gratitude, and precious moments with the people who mean the most to you.”

Dion revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in December 2022 as she announced the postponement or cancellation of several concerts she was originally scheduled to perform.

“I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through,” she said in a teary video posted to social media at the time.

“Recently I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people,” she continued, explaining that it is this condition that has been causing all of the “spasms” she’s been having.

SPS causes rigidity and spasms in the trunk and limbs, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Over time, leg muscles become stiff followed by other muscles including arms and face.

In June 2024, the singer gave some insight into her battle with the syndrome in her interview with Hoda Kotb as she shared how difficult it has become for her to sing.

“It’s like somebody is strangling you,” the Grammy winner told Kotb on “Today.” “It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx/pharynx this way.”
