Claudette Dion has dismissed social media rumors that her sister, Celine Dion, has mobility problems due to Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). The rumor started in September when a YouTube video claimed the iconic singer’s disorder was “growing rapidly.”
A YouTube video titled “Celine Dion’s Family Reveals How She Was Dying,” has gone viral on TikTok and Twitter, prompting rumors that the iconic singer uses a wheelchair.
While denying the rumours, Claudette said her sister is still “strong” morally and mentally. He told Showbizz.net“I know that morally, mentally, he is strong. He is not depressed at all … he really has the joy of life. We will get through this. Why do they say he is in a wheelchair? Why do they say he has cancer? Why are you making this up?”

Celine herself first revealed her SPS diagnosis in December 2022 with an emotional Instagram post. Shortly after the revelation, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer canceled her world tour, which was scheduled to resume in late 2023.
At the time, Celine had performed 52 dates of the “Courage” tour and did not share any information about if or when she would resume the tour. When she revealed her diagnosis of the disorder last year, Celine said the spasms from her SPS “impacted every aspect” of her daily life.
She said they “sometimes cause difficulty when I walk and don’t allow me to use my vocal cords to sing like I normally do.”
The disorder is a neurological condition known to affect patients’ ability to speak and use their muscles and limbs without pain.

Claudette previously spoke about Celine’s diagnosis during an interview with hi! Canada.
In the interview, she revealed that the Grammy Award winner’s muscle spasms were “impossible to control,” which is typical of advanced SPS, especially given Celine’s advanced age.
He said, “It’s a disease we know very little about. There is not much we can do to support him, to ease his pain. We are crossing our fingers that researchers will find a cure for this horrible disease. He did everything to recover. She is a strong woman.”
Claudette also shared that Celine knows that she has the support of her family, friends and huge fans.
Claudette said of the “I’m Alive” singer’s fans, “They love Celine, not only for the voice she has but also for the person she is. To woman he has become, to mother he has become.”
