Celine Dion has marked the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States by sharing a message of peace, reflection and gratitude with her followers. Writing on social media, the celebrated singer encouraged people to “slow down, take a deep breath, and give thanks”, noting the importance of pausing to appreciate loved ones. She added that gathering with family—whether in person, over the phone or simply in spirit—holds a “powerful” significance in her life.

Dion expressed heartfelt appreciation for the moments she shares with her family, emphasising how much they continue to mean to her. The singer has faced profound personal loss, including the death of her husband René Angélil from throat cancer in 2016, followed only two days later by the passing of her older brother Daniel from multiple forms of cancer. In later interviews, she reflected on finding an unexpected inner strength as she supported her children through grief.
The star has also confronted significant health challenges in recent years. In 2022, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes severe muscle spasms. The illness has prevented her from performing regularly, though Dion has reaffirmed her determination to sing again, describing music as her life’s passion and the craft she loves most.
