Celine Dion says her kids are afraid she’ll die as she battles Stiff-Person Syndrome … and they have a very good reason
In a preview for the singer’s new interview with Australia’s “Sunrise,” Celine discussed her journey with the rare neurological disorder — which causes painful spasms and muscle issues — and she confessed it’s taken a major toll on her 3 children.
Although Celine had been private about her health struggles until announcing her diagnosis in 2022 … she now says her kids with late husband René Angélil have had a front-row seat to her illness … and it’s left them terrified
She explains … “My kids are scared because they lost their dad, and they’re wondering if I’m going to die. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to lie … I got scared. It can be life-threatening. What’s going to happen?”As Celine’s parents are no longer alive, she has had to rely on support from her friends, including singer John Farnham.
