Celine Dion made fans concerned with her shocking onstage mishap.
While performing at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, France, on Wednesday, October 7, the My Heart Will Go On singer faced a shocking mishap as she slipped and fell onstage midway through a song, reported PEOPLE.
In a video circulating on social media, the All By Myself singer can be seen delivering an electrifying performance before slipping on the stage after her pants caught on one of her heels.
However, Dion quickly recovered and got back up, while ensuring fans that she’s alright by giving them a thumbs-up and continuing with her performance.
Her shocking stage mishap comes amid her ongoing struggles with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Inside Celine Dion’s health struggles
Celine Dion has been suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) for years. It is a rare, chronic autoimmune neurological disorder that caused painful muscle stiffness and severe spasms in the trunk, back and limbs.
Months after being officially diagnosed with the condition that affects one in a million people, Dion revealed about her health battle in December 2022.
Stiff Person Syndrome symptoms
Symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome include muscle rigidity, painful spasms, changes in posture, mobility issues, and in advanced cases, intense spasm that can dislocate joints or break bones.
Stiff Person Syndrome causes
According to Cleveland Clinic, no exact cause of Stiff Person Syndrome has been known yet. However, researchers suggest that it is an “autoimmune condition” in which a person’s immune system attacks healthy cells for unknown reason.
Stiff Person Syndrome treatment
While there has not been any treatment available to cure Stiff Person Syndrome, two main strategies can lessen the concern: Medications and therapies for symptom management, and immunotherapy, or disease-modifying treatment.
