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. It’s Celine’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.

“It’s like someone’s got you in a headlock,” she says, raising her voice dramatically as if auditioning for a soap opera. “Like someone’s playing yo-yo with your larynx and pharynx.” She then demonstrated with her voice, sounding like a mix between a strangled goose and a deflating balloon. “You can’t hit the high notes, can’t hit the low notes. It’s like my voice went on strike.”

“It gets into a spasm,” Celine went on, her eyes wide. “It started in the throat. I thought, ‘Okay, no biggie, it’ll pass.’ But nooo, it had to visit the abdomen, the spine, the ribs—like it was on a sightseeing tour of my body.”

She described the stiffness as feeling like she’s been transformed into a living mannequin. “Point my feet, they stay pointed. Try cooking? My hands are like, ‘Nope, we’re staying in this weird crampy position.’”
