▍复述文本

I just couldn’t believe what I heard about Celine Dion just as she couldn’t believe it herself. She fought back the tears and said she has an incurable neurological disorder, which is one-in-a-million. 

She’s now 54 and has been diagnosed with this stiff person syndrome, which causes frightening and often violent muscle spasms.

This is the last thing we would wish to see. She said she absolutely missed her fans, but her health is her focus right now. Bless her!
