Celine Dion made a surprise appearance at the Grammy awards amid her battle with rare neurological condition Stiff Person Syndrome.
Presenting the final award of the evening, the 55-year-old singer earned a standing ovation as she walked on stage to present the album of the year award.
She presented the prize to Taylor Swift for her album Midnights.
The My Heart Will Go On Singer was helped on to stage by her son to present the night’s biggest prize of the year, 27 years after Diana Ross and Stinger presented the prize to her, she said.
As the crowd cheered for her return to the public eye, the singer applauded them right back. “Thank you all,” she said. “I love you right back. When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.”
Since December 2022, Dion has remained largely out of the public eye due to her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder known for causing uncontrolled muscle spasms that make it hard to move. The “Power of Love” singer was forced to postpone all of her 2023 tour dates before ultimately cancelling the rest of her tour entirely.
