Celine Dion, after a long hiatus, has made a rare public appearance in Las Vegas, Nevada as she continues to battle stiff-person syndrome. The iconic singer was seen greeting fans for the first time in three-and-a-half years after attending the Montreal Canadiens’ match against the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday evening, October 31.

Accompanied by her sons René-Charles, and twins Nelson and Eddy, Celine posed with a few athletes after the match.

Montreal’s vice president of hockey communications Chantal Machabée shared a video of the singer on her Instagram, expressing gratitude for Celine Dion’s visit and praising her generosity.

The Grammy winner has maintained a low profile since revealing her diagnosis with Moersch-Woltman Syndrome in 2022. Stiff Person Syndrome, also known as SPS, is a rare neurological condition that leads to painful muscle spasms.

Celine’s older sister Claudette Dion expressed her distress over the limited options available to help her sister cope with the condition. She described the illness as one with little-known remedies, causing uncontrollable muscle spasms throughout the body.

The family’s hope rests on researchers finding a solution for this severe illness, which affects approximately one in a million people.

Celine’s sister Linda and her husband have moved to the singer’s home in Las Vegas to provide care and support, bringing comfort to the family during this challenging time.
