Celine Dion’s fans fear she has passed away because of her constant silence on social media.
Dion was diagnosed with a rare disease that affects only “one in a million” people.
The singer’s sister recently provided her health update.
There are growing concerns about whether songstress Celine Dion is alive or not. Fans have since commented on her posts, suggesting she has passed away.
On June 26, 2023, Celine’s team posted a video on her Instagram account with her song, “Waiting on You,” playing in the background. The post garnered over 50,000 likes.
Within the comments section, many of the award-winning singer’s followers expressed concerns about her whereabouts, and someone asked, “Are you alive? Post a story.”
Someone else wrote, “I think that she died, but they want to make money on her.” Another Instagram user revealed rumors are going around suggesting Celine passed away, while a third person asked whether it was true or not.
The month the team uploaded a video on the global superstar’s social account, they also posted a photo of her alongside the lyrics of her song, “Love Is Love.”
Fans once again commented on the post, and some revealed that they were keeping the Canadian native, dubbed the “Queen of Power Ballads,” in their prayers.
“Praying for Celine,” one social media user wrote. Another person stated, “May our GOOD GOD HELP HEAL YOU, CELINE,” while a third user penned alongside a heart emoji:
Praying for your health.”
Dion Stopped Appearing in Public
“The Power of Love” hitmaker’s last stage appearance was in London back in 2019. Celine later revealed she suffered from a rare illness. She released a video statement in December 2022 announcing that doctors had given her a heart-shattering health diagnosis.
She was diagnosed with “Stiff Person Syndrome,” which is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder affecting only “one in a million” people. Victims usually suffer from muscle spasms often triggered by noise, touch, or stress.
Celine’s last social media activity was on December 24, 2022, when she posted a video wishing her 6.1 million followers well for the holidays. “Merry Christmas, everyone. Wishing you love, happiness, [and] the best of health. Bye. Bye,” she said.
Celine’s Sister Provides Rare Health Update
The Grammy Award winner’s sister Claudette recently revealed that she is not allowing her health to deter her. Claudette shared that when she calls her famous sibling, and she happens to be busy, she talks to their other sister Linda who is living with the “I’m Alive” singer.
According to Linda, the Hollywood star is focusing on listening to researchers who specialize in the rare disease field to learn as much as she can about it.
Claudette said the 55-year-old needs to take it easy and get enough rest, “She always goes above and beyond; she always tries to be the best and top of her game.” The mother of three is also said to be disciplined in every aspect of her life, which is inherent to her.
The concerned sister stated that when one’s heart and body start acting up, it is important to pay attention to them. As for Celine’s recovery, the family remains hopeful that she will eventually find a rehabilitation that will work for her.
The songstress’ last public appearance was in 2022 when she was pictured outdoors with her kids, and they were all wearing masks.
