Celine Dion said she became dependent on life-threatening doses of relief to help ease her muscle spasms in the years leading up to her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome (SPS).

The music superstar, whose best-known hits include My Heart Will Go On, Think Twice and It’s All Coming Back To Me Now, revealed her diagnosis in December 2022 as she cancelled her Courage World Tour.
