As the sun sets behind the mountains in an exclusive neighbourhood 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip, I can hear a recognisable voice singing behind a closed door.
“Is that Celine?” I ask. Her security man guarding the hotel suite nods,I am about to interview a musical megastar, and it sounds like she is in a cheerful mood.
But the iconic voice I can hear casually singing away is one that fans feared they might never hear again.The medical name for her little-known illness is Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a neurological condition that causes muscles to spasm.
As we sit down to talk, Celine says it went undiagnosed for years.
The 56-year-old describes the distress she felt as a performer when she began to notice changes in her voice on tour.
