Celine Dion made a rare appearance with her three sons to see The Rolling Stones perform, giving fans a glimpse of how she’s doing amid her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
The legendary singer shared a photo featuring her children alongside the bandmates in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“This past Saturday, I got a chance to catch the @therollingstones in concert on their #hackneydiamonds tour at @allegiantstadium in Vegas,” Celine captioned the post. “What an incredible show!”
She added, “A very special thanks to @mickjagger for warmly welcoming my family. You got us rocking! – Celine xx…”
Celine Was Seen Crying At The Rolling Stone Concert
In the photo, the renowned French-Canadian artist was captured alongside Mick Jagger, 80, as well as her sons René-Charles, 23, and 13-year-old twins, Nelson and Eddy. For the occasion, Celine wore a striking red dress paired with beige heels, with her brown hair slicked back.
René-Charles (who’s pursuing a career in music like his famous mom) looked stylish with a beard, dressed in a white shirt tucked into black pants, complemented by a black ball cap and beige sneakers. One of the twins was seen wearing a beige coat over a black top, black pants, and yellow sneakers. The other twin sported a grey sports coat over a black shirt with a skeleton graphic, paired with off-white pants and black sneakers.
Despite her ongoing battle with stiff-person syndrome, Celine appeared to be in good spirits during the Saturday performance. The Grammy winner was spotted dancing and even shedding tears of joy while watching the legendary rock band perform. The band’s Sin City setlist included hits such as “Paint It Black,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” and “Jumping Jack Flash.”
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by severe muscle stiffness and spasms. This condition can lead to significant pain and disability, often affecting the ability to perform everyday activities. It’s an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system, leading to the symptoms.
Treatment typically involves medications to manage muscle rigidity and immunotherapies to address the underlying autoimmune response, but there’s no known cure for the condition.
How Celine’s Family Says She’s Doing
While Celine has been positive that she’s hoping for a full recovery, the singer currently can’t perform and her public appearances have been limited. Her sister offered an update in December.
“There are some who have lost hope because it is a disease that is not [very well] known,” Claudette Dion said in French to 7 Jours, a Canadian publication. “What pains me is that she has always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well, you’re going to do it properly.'”
“It’s true that, in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don’t know,” she continued. “The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me. Because [Dion’s condition is a] one out of a million case, the scientists haven’t done that much research because it didn’t affect that many people.”
If one thing is for sure, Celine’s fans are rooting for her to make a return to the stage.
