A relevant story from 2013:

Still better than getting the other one "FPO" (Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) - a gene defect turns muscular and connective tissue into bone cells when there is damage to them.

No cure - you literarily get imprisoned in your muscle turns into fixed rigid bone.

Fun fact: Celine started dating her now husband when she was 12 and he was 38, René was the one who mortgaged his own house to kick-start Celine's career. They were together for 20+ years till he died from cancer.

Celine transitioned?

Don't downvote me, downvote the comment that's spreading FUD about a person they don't actual know.

WTH are you talking about?

You initial comment was written,

Celine started dating HIS now husband when she was 12

Before you edited it.

It reads as if Celine had been a man some time in her life. I do not believe this is true.

Secondly, your math on her age is wrong, which I pointed out in a separate comment. Why post information on a person you don't know, and do such a bad job doing it?

How is her age wrong? Do explain.

>Fun fact: Celine started dating his now husband when she was 12

Wikipedia says 20.

They married when she was 19, you are reading wrong.

Am I? According to Wikipedia,

Angélil and Dion married in an extravagant wedding ceremony on 17 December 1994, which was broadcast live on Canadian television

Dion was born on 30 March 1968.

That would have made her 26.

Is there something else that you are reading that conflicts with that data?

yes, marriage and dating are different things.

Go home, Giorgi; you are drunk.

How so?
