Céline Dion Falls on Stage in Paris

Singer Céline Dion took a tumble on stage at the Plénitude Arena Tuesday.
Dion slipped during her 26-show Paris residency.
Videos show the singer walking across the stage and jumping while singing. Her pants get caught under her heel, causing the fall.
The singer, however, recovered quickly, stood up, and gave a thumbs-up to fans while continuing to sing.
Dion is nearing the end of the first leg of her Paris shows.
The residency started in September and marked her return to the stage in six years. She has been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome (SPS).
SPS “is characterized by fluctuating muscle rigidity in the trunk and limbs and a heightened sensitivity to stimuli such as noise, touch and emotional distress, which can set off muscle spasms,” according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
People suffering from the disease often have a hunched-over or stiff posture and may have trouble walking or moving.
