Singer Celine Dion shared an update about her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome alongside a rare photo of herself and her three sons.
In her post, Dion noted that March 15 was International Stiff-Person Syndrome Awareness Day, saying that "trying to overcome" stiff-person syndrome was "one of the hardest experiences" of her life.
Dion announced her diagnosis with the condition in 2022, saying at the time that the illness had impacted her ability to sing and walk, and in May 2023, she canceled all upcoming performance dates. In December 2023, Dion's sister Claudette told a French publication that the singer no longer had control of her muscles.
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
