Celine Dion shared a rare update with her fans on Instagram on Thursday with a positive Thanksgiving message.
Looking happy and healthy amid her Stiff Person Syndrome battle, (SPS) Celine said she was feeling grateful for her family and reminded others to slow down and take stock.
Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder which ’causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time.’
Looking better than ever, the singing icon, 57, wore a golden polo neck which artfully matched the curtain behind her and golden hoop earrings.
She wore a black cardigan over the top and black trousers.

Last month, Celine made a rare appearance with her sons at Paul McCartney’s Las Vegas concert.
The Canadian star looked thrilled as she sang and clapped along from the crowd while watching the Beatles legend, 83, perform at Allegiant Stadium.
Celine joyfully pumped her fist in the air as she spent quality time with her sons René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 14.
The Power Of Love hitmaker sadly lost her husband Rene Angelil in 2016 to throat cancer.
The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker first revealed in 2022 that she was suffering from SPS and cancelled her remaining tour dates at the time.

In a video uploaded at the time to her Instagram page, the singer had emotionally explained, ‘Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life.
‘Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.
She added: ‘I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle.
‘All I know is singing. It’s what I’ve done all my life, and it’s what I love to do the most,’ the mother-of-three continued.
Last year in May, Celine – who also shared a moving message amid Eurovision’s semi-finals – gave a health update during an interview with Vogue and expressed that her ‘happiness has come back.’
She continued, ‘It has been a big burden on my shoulders, and a lot of that weight’s gone…because now I can just focus on reality. That’s wonderful.’
And during an appearance on Today also last year, the performer stated, ‘I believe in myself, in my bravery’ while adding that she will not let the disorder ‘control my life.’
‘I’m going to come onstage because I’m ready. And my vocal cords will not scare me because I’m going to be ready, and I’m going to hit those notes.’
Celine – whose experience with the disease was shown in her documentary I Am: Celine Dion – gave a moving performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics as she belted out L’Hymne à L’Amour by Edith Piaf.
More recently Celine was announced as the new face of Charlotte Tilbury as she makes a triumphant return to the spotlight.
Confirmed by the Daily Mail last month, the singer is making her comeback in a collaboration with the best-selling make-up house.
Wearing a nude sparkly feathered catsuit, Celine looked incredible as she posed next to Charlotte, 52, or their highly anticipated Christmas advert.
In a behind the scenes video, the two friends can be seen giggling and dancing around together whilst Celine kicks her leg high in the air.
For the new campaign Celine also sings her iconic song, I’m Alive.
‘I’ve always believed music and beauty can uplift and inspire confidence,’ Celine said.
‘Having my song I’m Alive as the soundtrack felt like a true celebration of resilience and joy.
‘I hope this campaign reminds everyone that confidence is the greatest gift you can give yourself—because when you feel alive and empowered, anything is possible.’
