Celine Dion Triumphantly Returns to Music Amid Ongoing Health Battle

The 'My Heart Will Go On' singer announced her diagnosis with a rare neurological disorder late last year.

Celine Dion is getting ready to jump back into her music after spending the last several months dealing with a severe health condition.

The powerhouse vocalist and five-time Grammy winner publicly announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder known as Stiff Person Syndrome, forcing her to postpone and cancel a series of upcoming concert dates for her Courage World Tour.

Months after making the emotional announcement, the Canadian songstress delighted fans by revealing she would be dipping her toes back into music with the release of her brand new song, titled "Love Again."

"NEW TRACK ALERT!" Dion, 55, wrote in a new Instagram post on Thursday, April 13, while sharing a snippet of the new audio, which is from the soundtrack of the upcoming motion picture, Love Again.

While the title track is already available, the rom-com movie—starring Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra—doesn't hit theaters until May 5. But that's not all fans have to look forward to, as the film's full soundtrack, featuring five new songs from Dion, will be released the following week on May 12.

"We missed that voice!!"  one of her fans gushed in the comments, while the account for Love Again chimed in, "Playing on repeat! 💕🔁🎶."

As Parade previously reported, Dion explained a little bit about her condition when she initially announced the diagnosis, telling her Instagram followers, "While we're still learning about this rare condition, we now know that this is what has been causing all of the spasms that I've been having."

The illness is known to affect the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. According to the Stiff Person Syndrome Foundation, symptoms for the disease can include "hyper-rigidity, debilitating pain, chronic anxiety," and muscle spasms "so violent they can dislocate joints and even break bones."

But the "Because You Loved Me" singer made it clear that she had no intentions of giving up music altogether, despite the effects the condition has on her vocal cords.

"All I know is singing. It's what I've done all my life. And it's what I love to do the most," she said at the time. "And I have hope that I'm on the road to recovery. This is my focus and I'm doing everything I can to recuperate. I want to thank you so much for your encouraging wishes of love and support on my social media. This means a lot to me."

"Take care of yourselves. Be well," she concluded. "I love you guys so much and I really hope I can see you again real soon. Thank you."

Dion's spring 2023 shows have been rescheduled to 2024, while eight of her summer 2023 shows—previously scheduled from May 31 to July 17, 2023—have been canceled altogether.
