Céline Dion's older sister, Claudette, has revealed in an interview with Le Journal de Montréal that their sister Linda has moved into Céline's house to help care for her, as the singer's condition has failed to improve.
The superstar announced last December that she had been battling severe muscle spasms as a result of an extremely rare neurological condition called stiff-person syndrome. It had, unbeknownst to her and fans alike, led to the cancellation of several previous tour dates, and, after discovering her diagnosis, the May cancellation of her world tour.
In the interview, initially published in French, Claudette said: "I honestly think that she mostly needs to rest. She always goes above and beyond; she always tries to be the best and top of her game."
After cancelling the European leg of the world tour slated for the end of this year and the beginning of 2024, the artist kept a positive mindset. "I want you all to know, I'm not giving up," she said at the time, "and I can't wait to see you again!"
John Hopkins Medicine has reported that there is currently no cure for stiff-person syndrome — but working with specialists, as Claudette said Céline has been doing, can help patients alleviate some of their symptoms.
