Celine Dion puts on impromptu performance backstage at the Grammys amid battle with stiff person syndrome

Celine Dion not only shocked everyone by performing unexpectedly backstage at the Grammy Awards, but she also made a surprise appearance to present Album of the Year.

Dion, 55, has maintained a low profile since disclosing her condition in December 2022 in order to combat stiff person syndrome.

In the video, Sonyaé—who is up for a Grammy—and Dion dance to the beautiful harmony of their voices.

The singer of “My Heart Will Go On” made her first appearance in public since November, when she attended an NHL game with her kids. She also made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards.

Although there are rumors that Dion’s voice isn’t getting better in a way that would allow her to perform or record again, it appears that she can still hit the notes that we are all familiar with.

After disclosing her illness, she postponed the remainder of her tour dates, raising doubts about her ability to give a complete performance.

Celine, you have our undying love and support.

Elvis Presley’s ”grandson” takes the stage and stuns audiences

Many have tried to imitate Elvis Presley – but nothing can truly compare to the original. Or can it?

When Dakota Striplin stepped onto the stage of The Voice and began singing the timeless classic Love Me Tender, the judges were instantly moved.

But it wasn’t just his voice that stunned them. After his performance, Dakota dropped a bombshell that nearly made the judges fall out of their chairs…

A few years ago, a charismatic young man appeared on The Voice Australia. The 24-year-old Dakota Striplin stole the show when he performed Elvis Presley’s 1956 ballad, Love Me Tender. The resemblance to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll was uncanny. Dakota had Elvis’s distinctive jawline, the same hairstyle, and, most notably, a golden voice that brought back memories of the legendary performer.

Even his nose and eyebrows echoed Elvis’s features. During the performance, Dakota captivated the audience with his smooth, honeyed voice, and he also showcased his guitar skills, adding an emotional touch to his performance. The crowd erupted in applause, and it was no surprise—many in the audience likely thought they were witnessing Elvis’s grandson live on stage.

The judges were equally impressed. Before Dakota finished the first verse, two of them had already turned their chairs and hit their buttons. The third judge, Guy Sebastian, almost pressed his button but hesitated at the last second—something he would later regret.

But what about the connection to Elvis Presley? When you compare side-by-side photos of Dakota and Elvis, the likeness is undeniable. And the mystery deepened when Dakota revealed that he might actually be the King’s grandson.

“I always loved Elvis. He’s been a big idol for me since I was little. But recently, my dad found out that his father wasn’t his biological father, and there’s a lot of history with my grandma. She used to work at Elvis concerts and apparently knew him,” Dakota shared.

While look-alikes of Elvis occasionally appear, it’s rare for them to have more than just a striking physical resemblance. Elvis had only one grandson, Benjamin, who was the spitting image of the King.

But regardless of any family connection, Dakota Striplin proved he has incredible talent, and I’m sure Elvis would have appreciated his rendition of the classic ’50s hit. Dakota later showed his versatility by performing several other songs, including an energetic version of I Just Can’t Wait To Be King from The Lion King. Watch the clip below and enjoy his amazing performance for yourself!
