Celine Dion therefore had to cancel her planned appearance at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Switzerland because she had health problems. According to media reports, Dion is said to have suffered a attack after her arrival at the event location in Switzerland.
Fans hoped for a surprise appearance
The singer, who won the competition for Switzerland in 1988, was filmed during the first semi -final of this year’s competition at the venue, but was then neither on stage nor in the final. This reported “NME”. Fans had speculated about their appearance after Dion had previously been seen in Basel. During her appearance in the semifinals, Dion told the audience that she would “do nothing” than to be there in the competition and that victory was “a life -changing moment” for her.
Media speak of seizure
That was also originally planned: The French news page “Le Parisien” reported that it should sing her winning song “Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi” in a surprise performance. However, a medical incident prevented her from entering the stage. The “Mirror” reported that Dion suffered a seizure after her arrival at the event location.
Dion suffers from Stiff-Personal syndrome
Celine Dion has a neurological illness called Stiff-Person-Person-Syndrome. The incurable disease primarily affects the brain and spinal cord and causes muscle stiffness, posture problems and sensory disorders as well as painful cramps. It was not until 2024 that Dion celebrated a comeback at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris-her first live appearance since she announced her illness.
