Celine had gained worldwide fame by singing the popular My Heart Will Go On song from Titanic.

Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way Im used to, she said.

It hurts me to tell you today that this means I wont be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February, the singer said.

What is stiff-person syndrome?

According to National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website,Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare, progressive neurological disorder. Symptoms may include stiff muscles in the trunk (torso), arms, and legs; and greater sensitivity to noise, touch, and emotional distress, which can set off muscle spasms.

Over time people with SPS may develop abnormal, often hunched over postures. Some people may be too disabled to walk or move. Many fall frequently because they do not have the normal reflexes to catch themselves. This can lead to serious injuries. People with SPS may be afraid to leave the house because street noises, such as the sound of a car horn, can trigger spasms and falls, read the website.

SPS affects twice as many women as men.
