It was the “My Heart Will Go On” singer’s first public appearance in more than three years. Dion chose an elegant, floor-length baby pink dress with a pleated bodice. An eye-catching necklace and matching bracelet set eye-catching accents. Dion’s look was completed with a long caramel coat and a sleek bob haircut. The 55-year-old’s look was created by friend and stylist Law Roach, who came out of retirement specifically for it.
Impairment of the central nervous system
Celine Dion suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and incurable neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system. After announcing her illness in December 2022, the singer canceled all 42 dates on her “Courage World Tour,” which runs until April 2024.
Last August, Dion’s older sister Claudette spoke to Hello! Canada and reported that the singer was doing everything she could “to recover.” But “it’s a disease we know so little about” and there’s “little they can do to support it and ease its pain.”
