Celine Dion has been going through a difficult time over the last year, having been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in December.
The award-winning singer has been receiving support from her fans around the world, as well as her loved ones.
Recently, her sister Claudette Dion spoke to Le Journal de Montreal about the star's illness, and her hopes for Celine being able to one day get back on stage.
Admitting that she hadn't wanted to speak about the illness at first because it was such a difficult subject, Claudette told the publication that she was now ready to open up.
On Celine's Instagram video in December, in which the singer opened up about her health battle, Claudette said: "She has done it with composure. I know she was holding herself back. It wasn’t done in a moment of crisis, with tears, in distress. She simply explained what it was."

The song is her first since 2019's Courage off the album of the same name, following which she retreated from the spotlight due to the pandemic and her health troubles.
