Celine Dion’s presence at Grammys shocked the media and fans alike as the music icon has been dealing with some health issues in recent years. In particular, the singer suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome, with which she was diagnosed in December 2022.

A year after the illness was announced, Celine Dion’s sister Claudette shared that the singer was trying hard to deal with the problem but had lost control of her muscles. Additionally, Claudette Dion stated that Celine intended to return to the stage in some capacity, but did not know what state she would be in when she did.
