Shania Twain feels for Céline Dion after Stiff person diagnosis: ‘Gotta be so difficult’

Shania Twain, one power pack of energy, sends her love and prayers to Céline Dion after knowing about her neurological disorder diagnosis.

Dion has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome and since then the singer has been missing the limelight as well as she canceled her musical tours.

"I hope to be able to connect with her at some point," Twain told Billboard of the Beauty and the Beast singer.

"I think it’s gotta be so difficult, and I know — only speaking from my experience — how horrifying it is to think that something is preventing you from singing, or interfering with that joy in your life. So I just pray that she is able to overcome it and she will be up there [on stage] singing for us all again," she added.

"I’m such a fan of Céline’s voice," Twain said. "She’s a one-of-a-kind, extraordinary vocalist and entertainer."

Twain can relate to Dion’s misery as the singer herself has gone through surgery to strengthen her vocal cords, which as an adverse effect left her unable to speak for three weeks. She said that it was all due to the Lyme disease.

"It was quite depressing. Devastating to imagine that I would never sing again, even speaking, really, you know has always been difficult," she told Lorraine Kelly on her show of having the disease.

Dion in December 2022 revealed her health scare via social media.

"As you know, I've always been an open book. And I wasn't ready to say anything before — but I'm ready now. I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. And it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and talk about everything that I've been going through."
