Celine Dion Reportedly Has Difficulty Walking And Experiences Periods Of 'Intense Pain'

Although the "I Surrender" singer put on a brave face for a screening of Love Again – the movie she is starring in alongside Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, which she also wrote five new songs for – things have reportedly gotten worse over the past few months.

An insider told RadarOnline in May 2023 that she is "having difficulty walking and experiences periods of intense pain that come out of nowhere." The insider said her "life has changed drastically" and she is seeing a number of different health experts and specialists "like a neurologist, a holistic practitioner, and occupational and physical therapists." The source also said that she is "holding out hope that she can beat the odds," adding, "She's refusing to accept defeat. She needs to accept the treatment. And lots of R&R."

Celine Dion First Canceled Her Las Vegas Headliner Dates In October 2021

Dion first announced in October 2021 that she was canceling her headliner dates at The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas, which were due to kick off on November 5th, 2021, after suffering from "severe and persistent muscle spasms," which had (understandably) forced her to rest and take time off from performing.

The "My Heart Will Go On" singer later revealed that she needed to cancel all shows that were part of the North American leg of her tour in January 2022 due to her continuing health issues. "I was really hoping that I’d be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing," she said in a statement at the time.

"There’s a lot of organizing and preparation that goes into our shows, and so we have to make decisions today which will affect the plans two months down the road," she continued. "I’ll be so glad to get back to full health, as well as all of us getting past this pandemic, and I can’t wait to be back on stage again. Meanwhile, I’ve been very touched by all the words of encouragement that everyone’s been sending to me on social media. I feel your love and support and it means the world to me."
