"Celine is overwhelmed and moved by the outpouring of love and support from her fans," the source said. "It's been a very difficult time and she has a hard road ahead of her, but she is doing everything she can to get back on stage and see her fans." Dion is set to star in the upcoming rom-com as a fictionalized version of herself, as she helps a journalist assigned to profiling her to find love. [Stiff Person Syndrome Foundation](https://stiffperson.org/) notes that Dion's condition affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. "It hurts me to tell you that I won't be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February." "On this very special day, we'd like to wish you, dear Celine, a very happy 55th birthday!

The Grammy-winning icon posted a special thank-you on her Instagram Stories Friday in the wake of an outpouring of birthday wishes. She turned 55 on Thursday.

And I'm doing everything that I can to recuperate.” But I have to admit it's been a struggle.” Muscle spasms can be so violent they can dislocate joints and even break bones.” While we're still learning about this rare condition, we now know that this is what has been causing all of the spasms that I've been having." I'm working hard with my sports medicine therapists every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again. "I felt this giant wave of love," she wrote on a hot-pink background.
