When it comes to Celine Dion’s ongoing treatment for stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological condition, the singer says she’s starting to feel like a new day is coming.
One of the people that has helped Dion find hope amid her health struggle is neurologist Dr. Amanda Piquet, who the singer highlighted in a moving speech on Monday ahead of a screening of her upcoming documentary about her life with the condition. Dion spoke at a screening of “I Am: Celine Dion” in New York that was also live streamed at an event in Los Angeles, which CNN attended.
Dion announced in 2022 that she was diagnosed with the condition and that she was taking time off from professional commitments to focus on her health. At the time, she said the condition did not allow her “to sing the way I’m used to.” During her speech on Monday, Dion looked out to the audience and joked that “this is by far the biggest crowd I’ve had in a few years.
