> “It’s like somebody is strangling you. It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx/pharynx,” she said in a preview from the conversation that aired on the Today show Friday, June 7, raising her voice to demonstrate the effect. “It was like talking like that, and you cannot go high or lower.”
> “It gets into a spasm,” Dion continued. “It started [in the throat]. [And I thought], ‘No, okay, it’s gonna be fine.’ But it can also be the abdominal, can be in the spine, can be in the ribs.”
I hate she’s going through this and wish her all the best. Her music has made a lasting impression to so many people.
