Ailing Celine Dion In a Surprise Appearance At The 66th Grammy Awards
Legendary singer and five time Grammy Award winner, Celine Dion surprised Grammy attendees and viewers at Sunday’s ceremony with a unannounced appearance.
Dion, who is battling SPS, a stiff person syndrome presented the award for album of the year, which went to Taylor Swift. Stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder which has kept the singer out of music for some years now, but she looks forward to coming back on stage in no distant future.
Dion, 55, walked out to “The Power of Love,” which Swift sang along to in the crowd. The audience rose to their feet to greet Dion, including two of the evening’s winners, Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish.
“Thank you all. I love you right back,” Dion said, wearing in a pastel gown and brown coat. “When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.
“Those who have been blessed enough to be here, the Grammy Awards, must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music bring to our lives and to people all around the world,” continued Dion. “And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends — Diana Ross and Sting — presented to me 27 years ago.”
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer has five Grammys of her own. Dion and Swift were photographed embracing after the awards show concluded.
