Las Vegas icon Celine Dion (yes, she’s ours) shared some unfortunate news about her health leading some to wonder if she’ll ever be able to return to the stage, at Resorts World or beyond.<\/p>\n

Dion says she has Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological syndrome with a fairly terrible name. How rare? Dion says it affects “one in a million people.” Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The condition, she says, is responsible for her previously-reported muscle spasms.<\/p>\n

Celine Dion has always seemed like more of a hope person than a realism person—one of the reasons we love her—so, let’s go with hope.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The singer shared the news in true Celine Dion fashion on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the video, Dion says, “The spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”<\/p>\n

Dion announced her tour dates will be “postponed.” Her spring 2023 dates have been pushed back to 2024, her summer 2023 shows have been canceled.<\/p>\n

More relevantly, Dion’s long-awaited Resorts World residency is now a giant question mark. She was originally scheduled to start her residency in Oct. 2021.<\/p>\n

It was recently reported Resorts World was holding dates for Dion, but as we said at the time, wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

Wishful thinking, but Vegas was build on wishful thinking. https:\/\/t.co\/1vgUZ4ZUOM<\/a><\/p>\n
