Céline Dion: Goosebumps moment at the 2024 Grammy Awards

The Canadian singer Céline Dion (55) caused a surprise moment at the 2024 Grammy Awards. For the first time since her “Stiff Person Syndrome” illness became known in December 2022, the five-time Grammy winner appeared in public again. Dion presented the Grammy for best album of the year to pop singer Taylor Swift (34) to thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

Dion receives support from her son

Dion took the stage with the support of her eldest son Rene-Charles Angelil (23). “Thank you all so much, I love you too. You look beautiful,” said the visibly touched icon, adding: “When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

It was the “My Heart Will Go On” singer’s first public appearance in more than three years. Dion chose an elegant, floor-length baby pink dress with a pleated bodice. An eye-catching necklace and matching bracelet set eye-catching accents. Dion’s look was completed with a long caramel coat and a sleek bob haircut. The 55-year-old’s look was created by friend and stylist Law Roach, who came out of retirement specifically for it.

Impairment of the central nervous system

Celine Dion suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and incurable neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system. After announcing her illness in December 2022, the singer canceled all 42 dates on her “Courage World Tour,” which runs until April 2024.

Last August, Dion’s older sister Claudette said the singer was doing everything she could “to recover.” But “it’s a disease we know so little about” and there’s “little they can do to support it and ease its pain.”
