Celine Dion, 56, reveals why she was reluctant to announce her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis after secretly battling the debilitating condition for 17-years


The French-Canadian singer was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune neurological disorder in 2022.

News on the red carpet at New York City's Alice Tully Hall as the documentary premiered on Monday evening, she added: 'It's not about choosing what you have, it's dealing with what's happening.' After his passing, Dion said she had a hard time balancing raising her kids, René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, with her career - all while keeping her deteriorating health a secret from the public. After the preview for the interview aired on the Today show this morning, Hoda reflected on her and Dion's chat to her co-hosts, and she revealed that the My Heart Will Go On singer told her she had battled the disease for 17 years.
