Last month, Dion shared more details about how difficult her life has become with stiff person syndrome, which can cause involuntary spasms and muscle rigidity, while promoting her new documentary “I Am: Celine Dion” released on Amazon.

In an interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb at the time, the singer said trying to sing with her condition feels “like somebody is strangling you.”

The spasms can attack different parts of her body, including her abdomen, spine and ribs, she said.

“I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when it’s very severe, it can break some ribs as well,” the Grammy-winner shared.

I’m watching the replay on regular NBC and it makes me sad that they fucked over some of the smaller countries getting shown as part of the parade to show commercials. Cmon, these folks worked their asses of to be Olympic athletes and there are no doubt diaspora groups in the states that would like to be proud of their home country too

I've only been to Paris a few times. I have not spent any evenings in Paris. Mostly it was just going from Charles de Gaulle ✈️ to town on the train, then walking a kilometer to another train station to get the train to Germany.

I would like to spend some time there but, most of our time has been spent at the beach 🏖️ in the south. I like France. I admit I like their Rosé more than their Bier. I like their women at the beach and in the small towns I have visited.

I hope they have a great Olympics.

One of the cooler things about this is that the building they're playing from is the Conciergerie, which was used as a prison during the French Revolution. It's where the prisoners heading to the guillotine—including Marie Antoinette—were held. So, there was a specific historical reason why they chose to make it the most "metal" part of the spectacle.

Travelling in a fried-out Kombi, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie?
