Celine Dion, 56, tears up as she reveals she HID her stiff person syndrome for 17 YEARS before finally revealing her diagnosis - admitting the 'burden of lying became too much'


The singer, 56, revealed that she had been diagnosed with the disorder in 2022, but now, she has shared that she had been grappling with the horrific condition in secrecy for 17 years.

In a teaser for the upcoming chat, which will air in full on Tuesday at 10pm ET on NBC, Celine explained that when she first started to realize something was wrong, she didn't 'take the time' to go to doctors and get the proper tests that she needed. Celine recalled having 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 Celine's chat to her cohosts, and she revealed that the My Heart Will Go On songstress told her she had battled the disease for 17 years.
