This festive gathering with her sons comes at a time when Dion has been facing health challenges. In December, she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare and incurable neurological condition that can lead to debilitating muscle spasms and stiffness. This condition can also cause heightened stress and anxiety, mobility issues, and changes in posture.

In response to her diagnosis, Dion made the difficult decision to cancel all her scheduled tour dates through April 2024. She shared the news through a press release on social media, emphasising her commitment to her health and her desire to return to the stage once she is ready.

A source close to Dion explained her decision to PEOPLE, saying, "The goal is for her to tour again for sure, but once she is better. Right now, she's focusing on her health. She couldn't keep postponing shows — it wasn't fair to the fans."

Meanwhile, her sister, Claudette, provided an update on her health during a conversation with Hello! Canada in August, stating, "She's doing everything to recover. She's a strong woman."
