Celine Dion, 56, appears in high spirits at 2024 NHL Draft in first appearance since premiere of heartbreaking documentary detailing her battle with stiff-person syndrome.
Celine Dion made her first official appearance on Friday following the premiere of her heartbreaking documentary I Am: Céline Dion.
The legendary songstress, 56 - who shared harrowing footage of herself suffering a seizure in the film - looked happy and healthy during the 2024 NHL Draft at the Sphere arena in Las Vegas.
She announced the fifth overall pick of the Montreal Canadiens during the first round of the professional hockey draft.
Dressed in a chic white shirt and matching skirt, the Grammy winner flashed her megawatt smile as she took to the stage to share the sporting news.
It comes after the star's emotional documentary showed the devastating effect of her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Scenes from the film showed the Grammy winner suffering an agonizing ten-minute seizure, with the star seen gasping for breath as medical professionals desperately attempt to alleviate her painful muscle spasms while a camera crew quietly filmed the ordeal.
In clear distress, a frantic Dion was given a medicinal nasal spray, commonly used to treat the effects of cluster seizures in sufferers of SPS.
The singer looked on helplessly as doctors gently lay her in a comfortable position and check her vitals.
All the while, her bare-feet remained rigid as she battled the debilitating effects of the rare condition.
After receiving assistance the singer was finally able to sit upright and covered herself in a blanket before admitting her embarrassment at losing control of her body in front of the cameras.
In December 2022, Dion revealed she'd been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a serious neurological condition, and that she would be postponing tour dates due to the condition.
By May of the following year, she had cancelled all of her remaining concerts, citing her ongoing battle with the disease.
The condition, which affects one in a million people and causes muscles to tense uncontrollably ultimately leaves sufferers as 'human statues' as it progressively locks the body into rigid positions, leaving sufferers unable to walk or talk.
While there is no cure for SPS, there are treatments that slow down the progression and Dion revealed she was doing all she could to minimize symptoms.
She addressed her fans in a tearful Instagram post on December 8 2022, adding that it was forcing her to postpone her European tour.
'Hello everyone, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reach out to you. I miss you all so much and can't wait to be on stage talking to you in person,' she wrote.
'As you know, I've always been an open book and I wasn't ready to say anything before but I'm ready now.
'I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it has been really difficult for me to face my challenges and to talk about everything that I've been going through.
'Recently, I've been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the Stiff Person Syndrome, which affects one in a million people.
'While we're still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what's been causing all the spasms I've been having.'
