But how is Celine Dion? This is the question that has been agitating the entire planet since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Indeed, while she seemed to have regained the upper hand after the death of René Angelil in December 2016, she suddenly put an end to her tour and has not officially reappeared since then. Speculation is rife, especially around the state of health of the singer who would have deteriorated.
And Matthieu Delormeau made some revelations this Thursday evening which should not reassure his fans. In Touche pas à mon Poste, the columnist explained that the Canadian singer took “medication, antidepressants, she lost a lot of weight. She is very depressed. She has bad thoughts and even stated that she gets paranoid and hears Rene talking to her.“.
Disturbing words but confirmed by the magazine Paris Match: in its edition of the week, there is a photo of Celine Dion, without make-up and gray hair, accompanying her twins to the dentist. Photographers on site were reportedly in shock at the star’s appearance, “frighteningly thin“, according to them.
A depression accentuated, it seems, by the departure of the house of his eldest, René-Charles. This one, registered in a university of Nevada, carries out brilliant studies and at the same time tries to start a career in the rap.
Matthieu Delormeau then recalled that Claudette Dion, the singer’s sister, had already spoken about her state of health. Very close to her youngest, she explained that the mother of René-Charles, Eddy and Nelson suffered from “severe and persistent muscle spasms“, a disease called fibromyalgia”painful but not serious” according to her.
“This postponement of the tour is not a whim. Céline is not a diva but a beautiful human person. She worked a lot for this return, and she did too much. She’s 55, she’s pre-menopausal, she’s tired, she’s been on the road since she was 16, she’s never stopped. She’s exploding, it’s getting really hard for her“, she added.
So, when will we see Celine Dion again? Not immediately, since “his European tour is on hold“and that the doctors would have prescribed to the singer”2 years off“to fully recover his health. From his side or that of his family, no official communication has been given for several months.
