I hope her low weight and all those rumours of an eating disorder didn't throw them off track when diagnosing her. Or that they thought it was just purely based on stress and anxiety i.e. psychosomatic.

 

In my head, optimistically, they quickly narrowed it down to something neurological but weren't sure for a while which exact condition they were dealing with. Maybe they somehow ended up matching her genes to those of others who have the disorder?

They probably tested her for GAD antibodies.

 

Given there’s only 1 research center for SPS (Johns Hopkins) and only a few places that regularly treat SPS patients and most neurologists never see a single case given how rare it is, I wouldn’t expect Nevada to have specialists. She’s lucky in that she can afford to private jet her way to anywhere she needs, or bring the top specialists to her. Few with rare diseases have that luxury.

That’s been a big part of my reckoning of this. Regardless of whether or not Celine ever comes back (I’m starting to make peace with the idea of her days of performing being over), I am certain and glad that she has access to the best and most renowned medical specialists, treatments and neurological experts in the world. That, at the very least, gives me comfort to know that she’s in the best hands she could possibly be in, and that, unlike most of the world, many of the common issues faced which cause delays in treatment and even incorrect treatment, do not apply to her.

Yes I agree, as bad is this is for Celine… there are a couple sliver linings here.

 

1. The fact that Celine isn’t the typical SPS patient, her resources and money does allow there to be slightly more hope; money isn’t everything but it does insure that Celine gets the bets possible care in all aspects of her health, it also allows her to be able to focus on her health without worrying about paying bills, doing housework etc.

2. Probably the biggest rewarding aspect is she will be able to shine her spotlight on this terrible illness, and give current and future patients a little more hope that more research and funding will be coming in the months and years ahead.

It’s already making an impact. I checked out some SPS support groups online, and many patients are already expressing gratitude for her speaking about it. For years, many of these people were told they’re crazy, or that their illness is psychosomatic, or have been misdiagnosed for years because so few - even in the medical community - know about this. Now, for the first time, they feel seen.

Celine once again giving a voice to the voiceless. I adore that woman, I’m totally “content” with her singing career being probably over… I would love to see her live a life as healthy as possible and passionate about charities and other endeavors. ( I say content, because obviously it’s not ideal for Celine or any of us fans) but yet it seems so trivial to care about the career anymore. I wish her the best of health and happiness.

And I hope I am wrong, but I don't imagine she has taken her private jet anywhere for medical needs or otherwise. They would have to come to her. And I hope they are able to do that, and that her doctors have asked for that.

I’ve been following Celine since I was about 10 years old and am 41 now. This news is almost like a death because in reality her performing days are likely over. Little had I know the last time I saw her would likely be the last ….I knew the silence lately was bad - really bad —but never to this degree. I hope she gets early life time achievements awards from every major awards show as a thank you gesture for all she has done. I cannot imagine the emotions rollercoaster she is on. I can’t listen to her music either. It’s too depressing. I feel like a shell of a person since she broke this news. I cannot even fathom what she is going threw …..

I think you mean "you've made peace."

"People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."

- Céline Dion, 1990

Yes. I know, I’m a broken record.

Exactly. This is not good news of course, but shows are still scheduled and being rescheduled. It's by no means a certainty that she won't perform again.

The whole Adele residency is a copy of Céline's, only a bit more clean and minimalistic. But it's the same concept-wise. Expected better.

Adele has always been all about her voice, no huge production or fuss. It’s similar to Celine’s second residency “Celine”, it’s nothing like “A New Day…” so I’d say that Celine’s style of performance has for the most part always been more grand and production based. So I can’t say Adele copied I think it was Celine who veered into Adele’s lane, of course she doesn’t own that lane alone but she’s been doing this kind of show since day 1 really, whereas Celine has dabbled into both sides.

I've only seens some bits here and there, so could be wrong, but it seems Adele is trying the classic-ness of Celine's second residency but is showing how the visual production can be amped up and made larger. Which I think is an interesting approach.

Adele's Vegas show has many aspects that are very similar to Celine's last residency. So similar that I'm almost positive that Adele was inspired by Celine's show. Adele saw Celine in Vegas & BST and has mentioned on stage that the reason she's at CP is because of Celine so it's not a stretch to think she's been inspired by "Celine". Also, Celine was developing her 2nd residency before Adele became super big so I wouldn't say she copied Adele. The theme of the show was old Hollywood and was more elaborate than anything Adele has done on tour.

If anything it's Courage tour that has some Adele elements (the close-up of her eyes in the intro is something straight out of Adele's 2016 tour).

I think it’s a combination of Céline’s A New Day (except the dancers) and her 2nd residency show.

 

I mean, the concept is more of a clean, big prod visuals ala A New Day and since Adele picked Caesar’s Palace because of Céline. Well, it all started Céline anyways. Followed by Britney (If you guys watched her bits of interviews how Céline’s show inspired Britney’s show in Las Vegas)

 

I remember one bit about the stage. Britney said she wants a big stage like Céline’s A New Day stage. lol

 

Overtime of course the shows will be more improved. But the concept still like Céline’s. She started it. So I’m glad that there’s A New Day show. And everybody followed.

I don't know if Adele does it, but I always wanted Celine to just have a moment between her and a piano during her concerts/residencies.

 

Just like how she did with Divas Live singing "You've Got A Friend"

I think if we could copy and paste various sections of Celine’s second residency from over the years into one show - it would be perfect. But there was never one manifestation / leg of the show that was seamless.

 

Still, it was always a phenomenal show, apart from the very last shows which got a bit wonky.

 

Adele’s team putting together a Celine Dion show would be fabulous.

Celine Dion

We remain optimistic she’ll be healthy enough to take the Resorts World Theater stage this year. This has been a grind, certainly, as she’s battled the rare condition Stiff Person Syndrome. But Dion has earned the time to be at her best to reclaim her lofty position among Vegas entertainment royalty.

Meantime, Rolling Stone has unintentionally created international news for Dion by leaving her off its list of top 200 singers of all-time. Yes, it’s an astonishing omission shared by Tony Bennett and Dionne Warwick, among others. You’ll find some favorites left off this lineup.

But these lists are entirely subjective, non-binding, and designed to create conversation. Having covered Dion for 20-plus years in Las Vegas, my sense is this won’t phase her one bit. She has greater priorities entering the new year.

Not to sound negative, but with Celine's current health issues dealing with Stuff Person's Syndrome, it looks like this new Vegas residency is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!

 

In fact I have looked up the Resorts World Headliners page recently, & remember when it used to have Celine's name & picture on there, & it used to say "TBA" on it (meaning "To Be Announced") underneath it? Well it looks her name & picture HAS BEEN REMOVED from the Resorts World Headliners page! Now I do not really know if it got removed before the announcement of her diagnosing of Stuff Person's Syndrome or after, but to me it looks like her team might have decided that Celine is not in good health to do the residency, & since the shows she cancelled were never rescheduled, her team just might have decided to just axe the show altogether!

 

It's just sad & worrying that her health issues must be really awful & her early retirement from singing looks more likely! It breaks my heart that I will never get to see her in concert!

sincerely, maria :) <3

Here is the list of the Resorts World Headliners as of now March 2023:

 

https://www.rwlasvegas.com/entertainment/

 

As you all can see, Celine's name & picture is NOT SHOWN on this page anymore! To me, that speaks volumes! & As there has been no mentions whatsoever about the new Vegas shows in such a long time now, it looks like Celine & company had decided to not do the Vegas shows! & also do not be surprised if the rest of the "Courage" tour dates get cancelled! I mean yes they might not had axed all of the shows for contract/$$ reasons, but honestly if Celine is really in bad shape with her health, enough to totally cancel a new Vegas Residency, she should be able to cancel the rest of her shows if she is not able to perform!

sincerely, maria :) <3

I already have a migraine.

 

Must have completed the program at the asylum and got released. They’ll relapse.

Where aren’t there any “babysitters” on this forum anymore? I remember this place used to run a tight ships back in 2007ish when I joined. They would tell you to calm down if you wrote more than one consecutive capital letter in a row… now it’s a become a circus.
