Celine Dion revealed in December 2022 that she suffers from the rare neurological disorder Stiff Person Syndrome-SPS, a disease that is incurable.
Stiff Person Syndrome-SPS is a rare neurological disorder with features of an autoimmune disease.
People with SPS may not be able to walk or move around or may even be afraid to leave the house because street noises, such as the sound of a horn, can cause spasms and falls.

Taylor Swift’s record
And Celine Dion’s performance coincided with a historic record for Taylor Swift as the Canadian singer’s Grammy win brought the 34-year-old’s total to four awards for album of the year.
With this award for her album Midnights, Swift became the first singer to win a Grammy for Best Album for the fourth time as Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra and Paul Simon hold the record to date.
She even made sure to repay her millions of fans around the world for the love they have shown her by announcing in her acceptance speech the release date of her 11th album.
