CELINE DION: Inside Her SECRET STRUGGLE

Celine Dion had dreamed of taking her three boys on at least part of her European tour - but it wasn't to be. Over the past few months, the Canadian singer has been forced to postpone more dates of her Courage World Tour as she battles a mystery ailment. "The good news is that I'm doing a little bit better," she said in a video posted to social media. "I'm getting treatment from my doctors, taking medication, but I'm still experiencing some spasm, and it's taking a lot longer for me to recover than I had hoped."

It's been a very difficult time for Celine, 54, who has been waiting to bring this show to her adoring fans since 2020. But the painful spasms she has been experiencing for months have made that impossible. "I need to be in top shape when I'm on stage," she says. "I honestly can't wait, but I'm just not there yet."
