Celine Dion has ‘not given up’ on performing again despite an ongoing health crisis that has prompted her to cancel a show.
Her health problems were first made public in October 2021 when she had to cancel months’ worth of performances in Las Vegas due to “severe and persistent muscle spasms.”
Later that month, in December, the 55-year-old Canadian singer emotionally disclosed she had been given the fatal Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis.
A source for People claims she is ‘doing everything she can’ to be able to perform live once more despite her recent announcement that she has cancelled her tour dates through April 2024.
Another source informed the publication that her boys Rene-Charles, 22, Nelson, and Eddy, both nine, ‘are her light right now’ as she battles to get back into shape.

“It’s heartbreaking that she has had to cancel touring but she is suffering mobility and other issues from the disease disrupting her daily life,” the source explained.
“She is doing everything she can while working with doctors because she wants to perform. She has not given up at all. She is hoping to get all of the issues with this disease under control so she can sing again.”
The insider explained that Celine ‘loves her audiences’ and that ‘singing is her life,’ and that ‘seeing this happen is upsetting to her and everyone around her.’
Another source said: “Her main focuses are always her sons and performing. She is the most selfless and considerate person. Celine just loves her boys so much. They are amazing. They give her all the support and love that she needs.”
Celine shares all three of her sons with her late husband Rene Angelil, who was 26 years her senior in an eye-catching detail.
They met in Canada when she was a 12-year-old wannabe singer and he was 38, and he immediately became her manager.
Rene died at the age of 73 in January 2016 of a heart attack while suffering from incurable throat cancer, only two days before Celine lost her brother Daniel to the same disease.
