In a rare public appearance, Celine Dion rooted for the Montreal Canadiens at a hockey game in Las Vegas this week. The singer is living with stiff-person syndrome.

Celine Dion is back in the public eye, meeting and posing with hockey players a year after she revealed her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis. The 'My Heart Will Go On' singer and her son, René-Charles Angélil, met with the Montreal Canadiens in Las Vegas on Monday as they faced the Golden Knights at the T-Mobile Arena. Dion, wearing a white puffer vest and a beige sweatsuit, also met coach and hockey veteran Martin St. Louis.

She said in a video — shared in English and in French — that the neurological disorder 'affects something like one in a million people.” The Mayo Clinic defines stiff-person syndrome as an autoimmune disorder of the nervous system that often results in “progressive, severe muscle stiffness and spasms of the lower extremities and back.” Since revealing her diagnosis, Dion canceled a slew of shows. In May, she called off her Courage world tour.
