In 2022, Celine Dion made a public announcement to her fans and to the world, that she was cancelling her Courage World Tour after being diagnosed with a devastating neurological disorder, Stiff Person Syndrome. This progressive auto-immune disease results in muscle stiffness, as well as consistent, debilitating and painful muscle spasms that occur all over the body. For those battling SPS, everyday activities become a constant challenge, overshadowed by the unpredictability of their condition.
 

When I heard the news about Celine’s diagnosis, I was absolutely heartbroken. To see this legendary woman who has inspired me so much as a singer, who has given so much joy and love to so many through her incredible 40 year career, be reduced to tears while sharing the news of her diagnosis and tour cancellation was devastating.

I knew in that moment I wanted to do something to not only share my love and support for Celine, but to be able to spread awareness through her music and support the official charity for SPS, The Stiff Person Syndrome Research Foundation.


Today, I’m excited to share a special project close to my heart that I’ve been working on with my dear friend and producer, David Cordeiro. Together we have created our “Celine Dion Medley” and collaborated with 3 other incredible international Celine Dion tribute artists (Alexandra Darby, Sébastien Costic, and Courtney Bassett) who are featured on the track. This song is our love letter to Celine Dion, and a message of hope for everyone living with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a condition she bravely battles.

Our goal with this medley is not only to honor Celine Dion’s incredible career and resilience, but also to shine a light on SPS. With every listen and share of our song, we hope to bring more attention to this disease and inspire others to support the cause.

We’ve partnered with The Stiff Person Syndrome Research Foundation (SPSRF) to ensure that every donation made through this campaign goes directly towards funding critical research and supporting those affected by SPS. The SPSRF is dedicated to finding a cure and improving the lives of those who suffer from this debilitating condition.

Your support means the world to us and to everyone affected by SPS. By listening to "Celine Dion Medley," sharing it with your friends and family, and donating to The SPSRF, you can make a significant impact.

Let’s come together to raise awareness, fund vital research, and support the SPS community.

Thank you for joining us in this important cause. Together, we can make a difference!
