Céline Dion is set to make a special appearance on TF1’s 20H this Sunday, as reported on June 13, 2024. The Quebecois singer will be the exceptional guest of Anne-Claire Coudray in the 20H news program on Sunday, June 16. This appearance is in conjunction with the release of the documentary “Je suis : Céline Dion,” where the star will open up about her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.
Stiff-Person Syndrome is an autoimmune disease that has forced Céline Dion to take a step back from the stage in recent years. The worldwide release of the documentary “Je suis : Céline Dion” on June 25 on Prime Video will shed light on her struggles with this condition. Anne-Claire Coudray had the opportunity to sit down with the singer in Las Vegas, her adopted city, for a candid interview about the challenges she has faced due to this autoimmune disease, which causes muscle stiffness in the torso, arms, and legs, and can lead to severe spasms. While there is no cure, treatment can help manage the symptoms.
In a recent interview with NBC, Céline Dion described the sensation as feeling like someone is strangling you. Despite having to cancel a series of shows scheduled for 2023 and 2024, the singer remains determined to return to the stage, even if it means crawling. She made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year to present the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift.
Fans of Céline Dion can look forward to her candid discussion about her journey and the obstacles she has had to overcome in the face of this challenging condition. Stay tuned for her appearance on TF1’s 20H this Sunday to hear more about her story and her resilience in the face of adversity.
