Celine Dion dropped down to "96 pounds" before she went public with her health diagnosis, well-placed insiders claim about her drastic weight loss.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the powerhouse singer, 54, had friends and family concerned due to her hard work ethic and commitment to her fans no matter what Dion was going through privately.
"She never did know when to stop," an insider claimed.
Dion recently announced that she won't be ready to restart her tour in Europe in February 2023 after doctors informed the My Heart Will Go On hitmaker that she had a very rare neurological condition called stiff-person syndrome.
"Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life," she shared.
As for how the symptoms impacted her, Dion said, "Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I'm used to."
Insiders noted how Dion was prepping hard for her performances all over the world before her diagnosis, working with a trainer and doing endless hours of rehearsals that were taxing on her.
"Her friends are urging her to slow down," said the source close to the It's All Coming Back to Me Now songstress. "A lot of people are really worried about her."
