Celine Dion Likens Performing With Stiff Person Syndrome To Somebody “Strangling You”

Buy Me A Coffee

The one and only Celine Dion is gracing us with her presence for a super rare, unicorn-level interview!

This past Friday (June 7), NBC teased us with a sneak peek of the 56-year-old “My Heart Will Go On” diva’s upcoming chat with Today’s Hoda Kotb. Itโ€™s Celineโ€™s first TV interview since she dropped the bombshell about her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis back in 2022.

In this juicy preview, Celine spills the beans on how this health hiccup has affected her golden pipes.

โ€œItโ€™s like someoneโ€™s got you in a headlock,โ€ she says, raising her voice dramatically as if auditioning for a soap opera. โ€œLike someoneโ€™s playing yo-yo with your larynx and pharynx.โ€ She then demonstrated with her voice, sounding like a mix between a strangled goose and a deflating balloon. โ€œYou canโ€™t hit the high notes, canโ€™t hit the low notes. Itโ€™s like my voice went on strike.โ€

โ€œIt gets into a spasm,โ€ Celine went on, her eyes wide. โ€œIt started in the throat. I thought, โ€˜Okay, no biggie, itโ€™ll pass.โ€™ But nooo, it had to visit the abdomen, the spine, the ribsโ€”like it was on a sightseeing tour of my body.โ€

She described the stiffness as feeling like sheโ€™s been transformed into a living mannequin. โ€œPoint my feet, they stay pointed. Try cooking? My hands are like, โ€˜Nope, weโ€™re staying in this weird crampy position.โ€™โ€

Oh, and did I mention? Sheโ€™s even broken ribs because of these severe spasms. Talk about dedication to drama!
