Celine Dion specifically described her problems – including mobility problems.
“Although we are still learning about this rare disease, it is known that it is the cause of all the cramps I have had. Unfortunately, these cramps affect every aspect of my daily life: sometimes they make it difficult to walk and prevent me from using my vocal cords to sing in a way that to which I’m used to,” the broken artist confessed.
“I work hard every day with my sports medicine therapist to regain my strength and my ability to perform again. But I have to admit it’s a struggle. All I know is singing. I’ve been doing it all my life and that’s what I love doing the most,” she added.
