Céline Dion spotted in rare outing

Céline Dion proved to be a strong person by not letting her spirits down while battling stiff-person syndrome.

The five-time Grammy winner was seen out in New York City accompanied by two security personnel. The songstress donned a long, black coat, white blouse, black leather leggings and matching boots.

Dion beamed with a slight smile and held up a thumbs-up before getting into an SUV.

Since announcing being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, the singer has kept out of the spotlight, making this one a rare public appearance for the 55-year-old.

The condition had also prompted her to cancel a world tour last year.

"Unfortunately, the spasms affect every aspect of my daily life," the My Heart Will Go Onsinger had said in an Instagram video.

"Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I'm used to."

Last October, the Canadian-born star was spotted on her first major public outing since sharing her stiff-person-syndrome diagnosis.

She went to a Las Vegas game of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team with her late husband René Angélil's twins, Nelson and Eddy, 13, and son René-Charles, 23.
