The “My Heart Will Go On” singer released a video in December last year explaining that she had been diagnosed with a rare health condition. This caused him to postpone his upcoming tour date. He revealed that it was a neurological disease called “Stiff Person Syndrome.”
According to research, it is a disorder that increases muscle spasms and makes it difficult to walk or move. For some patients, it worsens and makes it almost impossible to get out of bed. However, others have less severe symptoms and can manage the disease with muscle-relaxing treatments.
In the video, the 54-year-old revealed that he had been struggling with the condition for a while, and it was difficult for him to open up. “I’ve been dealing with health problems for a long time, and it’s really hard for me to face this challenge and talk about everything I’m going through.”
Despite his current situation, he hopes to get better soon and asks fans to stay positive.
