In a video clip on Instagram, 54-year-old Dion tells us that the muscle spasms she has been suffering from lately have turned out to be due to the disease "stiff person syndrome" - an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and affects one person in a million.
- Unfortunately, these spasms affect all aspects of my life.
Sometimes they cause difficulty walking and they don't allow me to use my vocal cords to sing like I used to.
It pains me to have to tell you that this means I am not ready to start my tour in Europe in February, says the Canadian in the clip posted in both French and English language versions.
The tour has already been postponed several times due to the corona pandemic and was moved forward another year this spring due to Céline Dion's health problems.
The Sweden game would have taken place at Friends Arena on September 30 next year.
