Summary
Céline Dion said in a new Harper's BAZAAR interview that she prefers to describe stiff-person syndrome as a "progressive condition" rather than a disease.
The singer said the wording better reflects her experience and explained that speaking publicly about her health is a way to thank fans whose support helped sustain her.
A 5-week Paris residency this fall will mark Dion's return to the stage after years away, with Dion saying she wants to offer audiences something meaningful after the long absence.
The interview also showed a broader shift in perspective, with Dion describing a renewed appreciation for public life while continuing to navigate the condition.
