Celine Dion's life now - sanctuary home and axed tour to human statue diagnosis
Global songstress Celine Dion is leading a very different life after selling her waterpark home to live in a luxury mansion, which she describes as "a sanctuary", as she faces her ongoing health battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).
The singer was diagnosed with the syndrome last year, which can leave sufferers as 'human statues' when the body becomes rigid and locked in position.
The star announced earlier this week that she was cancelling her tour as she's in need of rest, and has taken to her luxury Vegas home as she labels it "a sanctuary".
The $1.2 million mansion is a far cry from her previous home of a sprawling waterpark but is still grand in size with three large bedrooms, a massive outdoor space with pool, a private bar, and access to a semi-private golf course.

In her new mansion, which she shares with her three sons René-Charles, Eddy and Nelson, Celine is taking a period of rest as she continues to battle with her health.
Her struggles have become so great that she was forced to cancel her latest world tour. A press release told fans that she had to scrap shows due to "severe and persistent muscle spasms".
She had already cancelled the European leg of the tour last year as she told fans the news of her health deterioration in 2022.
Last year she said: "Hello everyone, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reach out to you. I miss you all so much and can’t wait to be on stage talking to you in person.
"As you know I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before but I'm ready now.

"While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all the spasms I’ve been having."
She added: "Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I'm used to."
