Another commenter, reflecting on genetics and the resemblance to his late father, René Angélil, who passed away in 2016 from throat cancer, said, “He looks a bit older because he’s getting bald, it’s just the genetic, remember his father. He still looks good though.”

Even amidst her diagnosis, Celine’s unmatched singing talent shone brightly, evident during her appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards. She graced the ceremony with her presence and even vocalized with Sonyae Elise backstage.

The younger singer posted a short video with Celine singing and harmonizing behind the scenes. Celine looked breathtaking in a white ensemble with gold accessories, while Elise donned a purple dress.

Social media users who came across the post couldn’t help but comment on Celine’s appearance and voice.“You look great as usual & Celine,” one person wrote in the comments section.

Celine also shared behind-the-scenes photos from the event, where she donned a chic Maison Valentino ensemble styled by Luxury Law. Her stylist also shared similar snaps, revealing in the post that Celine was “HEALTHY AND HAPPY!”

While staying true to her passion for singing, Celine Dion has also shared her love for fashion. She appeared as a cover model for Vogue France last April, where she boldly posed in a white unbuttoned Balenciaga shirt paired with Calzedonia tights, Balenciaga cycling mini-skirt, and Chopard earrings.

Her confident pose displayed her modeling skills, revealing her lean physique. The artist’s daring photo ignited a wide range of reactions across the internet, spanning from worry to admiration. One concerned netizen commented, “I see her ribcage, doesn’t look healthy.”

However, some admired Celine’s looks. A fan said, “I’m glad that she’s back and that she is well. But why does every female celebrity have to prove herself by posing naked or semi-naked, that’s beyond me.”

Amid the netizen’s mixed reactions, Celine felt lucky to be the cover model for the magazine despite her condition. “Although I had better health and beauty at 30, I didn’t get asked to do one then…I am being asked to reveal my beauty,” she said.

In the magazine she modeled for, Celine opened up about her battle with stiff-person syndrome, providing insights into her resilience and daily challenges. “I’m well, but it’s a lot of work. I’m taking it one day at a time,” she noted.

Despite her condition, Celine remains hopeful for a breakthrough, acknowledging she has yet to “beat the disease.” Complementing her resilience, she dedicates herself to rigorous therapy, involving various exercises five days a week. Moreover, her relocation to Las Vegas offers significant benefits.

Living just 35 minutes away from work has granted Celine invaluable time to prepare and interact with her team. This arrangement also allows her to easily return home, see her children, and sleep in her bed.

Celine stressed the importance of her family, fans, and medical team in her crucial battle against SPS. “People who suffer from SPS may not be lucky enough or have the means to have good doctors and good treatments. I have those means, and this is a gift,” she emphasized.
