What are the two Celine Dion songs that were written by her own hand and whose lyrics she is auctioning off to fight the rigid person syndrome she suffers from: “She wants to come back,” her sister reveals

Singer Celine Dion publicly announced her illness in December 2022, which also forced her to cancel her 2023 concert schedule and postpone it to 2024, even though she has not recovered.

It is about “rigid person syndrome”, a neurological disorder that is “very difficult to deal with”, and she spends her days surrounded by her three children and counting on the support of her family.

It was her health condition that led Celine Dion to the decision. The 55-year-old Canadian donated several of her compositions, her most intimate memories, to the auction, according to El País de España.

Among the items up for auction at Julien’s Auctions are the lyrics to two songs she wrote by hand, as well as guitars and other artifacts of famous musicians.

The process of selling these items belongs to the series called “Lyrics for a Cause”, or in Spanish “Letras por una causa”, whose goal is to collect funds that will be allocated to the non-profit organization Music Health Alliance.

Which Celine Dion songs will be auctioned?

One of the lyrics written by Celine Dion that will go up for auction is the one for the song “The Prayer”. It is a song that he recorded in 1999 in collaboration with Andrea Bocelli, according to the Spanish media, and which won the Golden Globe for the best original song.

The next text from Celine Dion is the composition “The Gift”, the official sound of the soundtrack of the film “Love Again”, which premiered in cinemas in 2023 and in which the singer appears playing herself.

The auction, which began Oct. 23 and will end Tuesday, Nov. 14 at the Hard Rock Café in Nashville, Tennessee, also includes other lyrics from “some of the most important songs in music history,” according to a statement from Julien’s Auctions.

When will Celine Dion return to the stage?

The pathology that Celine Dion suffers from affects one person in a million. “Stiff person syndrome” is characterized by the appearance of acute pain that makes it difficult for the person to move, and therefore the singer cannot sing as she used to.

Their return to the stage is uncertain because they can’t find “any medicine that works,” as their older sister Claudette Dion said last August. Despite her health condition, a family member admits that Celine is “not depressed” and that she “wants to get back” to music.

“I know you’ve been to Denver several times because there are excellent researchers there and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. That’s all we can do. Tell her how much we love her and wish her all the best,” he said in a new report collected by Los 40 media. (AND)
