ALBAWABA - A video of Canadian singer Celine Dion has caused shock in the hearts of her fans after the star was seen shaking uncontrollably on camera.

In the viral video, singer Celine Dion is seen lying down, crying, with visible facial and lip twitching as her body goes into uncontrollable spasms.

Many fans posted the clip along with the caption, "This is hard to watch" or "This is heartbreaking".

Is Celine Dion's shaking video new?

The footage of Celine Dion shaking on camera is old, but it resurfaced after it was shared by a group of people. It dates back to her 2024 documentary "I Am: Celine Dion," depicting the singer in severe distress from stiff-person syndrome that she was diagnosed with in 2022.

The stiff-person syndrome is an autoimmune disorder causing muscle spasms; footage shows her crying and twitching while medical staff administer a nasal spray to ease symptoms.

Celine Dion was diagnosed in August 2022 after symptoms began in 2008, a rare condition affecting about 1 in 1 million people.
