The wife of a former HGV driver with stiff person syndrome has voiced concern for Celine Dion - amid pressure on the singer to be figurehead for the disease. Andrea Rawlins, 56, has cared for her once bike-mad husband Ian, 60, for nearly 20 years, tending to his needs and protecting him during daily spasms.
The incurable neurological disorder causes sufferers to both convulse and freeze "like a statue". It made headlines in December 2022 when Celine Dion announced her diagnosis on Instagram. The 'Power of Love' singer has since become an unofficial spokesperson for the debilitating condition.
She will delve further into her experience for the Amazon Prime documentary I Am: Celine Dion, which is set to be released on June 25.
