Celine Dion Spotted in Rare Public Appearance Amid Health Battle
Celine Dion
Ever since revealing her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis, Celine Dion has mostly kept to herself, but the "My Heart Will Go On" singer recently stopped by T-Mobile Arena to cheer on her hometown hockey team.
Chantal Machabée, Vice President of Communications for the Montreal Canadiens, based about 30 miles from where Dion grew up, shared a sweet snap of the two women at the game on Oct. 30, where the Canadian team took on the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
The VP shared a photo with the songstress in the locker room, with Dion wrapped up in a cream-colored sweatshirt with matching pants and a white puffy vest for warmth. She wrapped her arm around Machabée and smiled brightly for the camera.
"Nice visit at our game in Vegas yesterday. Thank you @celinedion for your great generosity," Machabée wrote alongside the photo, uploaded to Instagram, in French. "The whole team was very happy to meet you and your family."
It's unclear if Dion made a donation to the team or if Machabée was just referring to the fact that she came by and snapped some pics.
Though she received her diagnosis of the rare and incurable neurological disorder, which causes debilitating muscle spasms, among other things, and eventually turns sufferers into "human statues," nearly a year ago, she'd been dealing with symptoms for much longer, leading to canceled engagements and a more reclusive lifestyle.
Naturally, fans were overjoyed to see her out and about and looking so well.
"Thank you so much for posting and letting us know that Céline is doing well ????" one wrote graciously.
"oh God! this is everything… she looks amazing ??" another complimented.
"God how much we missed her ???? !!" a third said.
"Celine!!! You look incredible! Sending you hugs! We love you so much!! ??????" someone else commented.
