The Queen of Power Ballads, Celine Dion, has shocked the internet after the singer celebrated her 57th birthday recently, with many claiming that they thought she was older or in her 70s.
The “I’m Alive” hitmaker’s age was shared on a US entertainment blog, Pop Base, which wished the singer a happy birthday on March 30.
“Happy 57th birthday to the legendary Celine Dion,” the blog captioned the post.
Many social media users were shocked to learn that the singer is in her late 50s because they thought she was older and in her 60s or 70s.
@arianapologist commented, “SHE ISN’T IN HER 70’S?!?!”
“I genuinely thought my girl was in her 60s, and not because she looks old, but because she’s beeeeeeen around! Kunini kwathiwa Celine Dion,” @Sine_Madolo said.
The Canadian singer is globally known for her powerful technical vocal skills that have earned her numerous accolades in the entertainment industry.
Dion was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in 2022, and in the same year, she bravely announced to the world that she was suffering from this syndrome.
Stiff person syndrome is a rare neurological disorder, and the symptoms include muscle rigidity and can be triggered by noise, touch or emotional distress.
After she disclosed her illness, many of her fans worldwide showed her immense support on social media and the legendary singer took a break as her main focus was her health.
In an interview with “Vogue France”, Dion gave a health update as she revealed that she now goes through intensive five-day therapy.
“Five days a week, I undergo athletic, physical and vocal therapy. I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice. I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself.”
She further added, “I haven’t beaten the disease, as it’s still within me and always will be. I hope that we’ll find a miracle, a way to cure it with scientific research, but for now, I have to live with it.”
