Canadian singer and actress Céline Dion has released a statement on her social networks announcing the cancellation of her “Courage World Tour” due to her struggle with a serious neurological disease known as: rigid person syndrome.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint you all once again. I’m really working hard to rebuild my strength, but working hard can be difficult even when you’re 100%. It’s not fair to you that I keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s better that we break everything now until I’m really ready to get back on stage,” she posted in multiple messages.
There are 42 canceled concerts that will take place on European soil between August and October 2023 and between March and April 2024. World Tourism should begin before the pandemic. There have been various extensions due to health issues that cause severe and persistent muscle spasms.
Of course, the singer who rose to world fame with the song “My Heart Will Go”, which accompanied the soundtrack to “Titanic” in 1997, left a message for his hopeful followers: “I want everyone to know, not me. I’m in charge…and I can’t wait to see you again!”
What is the stiff man syndrome, tough in the disease Celine Dion?
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Cerebrovascular Accidents states that “rigid man syndrome is characterized by episodes of stiffness and muscle spasms of the trunk and arm and leg muscles, often from increased sensitivity to noise, touch, and to startle response. People with the syndrome can also adopt abnormal attitudes. The disease affects women more than men.
It is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord. Again, it is often associated with other autoimmune diseases such as diabetes.
