A recent Instagram post by singer Céline Dion has fans discussing her unhealthy weight. They are worried that she is far too skinny and are concerned that she might be sick.

The photo shows Céline smiling and sitting cross-ankled on the floor in a short black skirt and a t-shirt that says “FOMO” on it. The photo’s caption reads, “F.O.M.O. ⁣⁣It means Fear of Missing Out, or does it? - Team Celine.”

Many of the comments below the photo are a variation of “I love you hon, but you are too skinny,” and others encouraging her to eat. One fan even said, “It's not looking good, really!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻” and another remarked, “PLEASE GAIN SOME WEIGHT!!! YOU ARE VANISHING!” One commenter said “She looks so fragile and looks like her bones can crack with just a touch,” and then went on to compare her to Karen Carpenter.

The superstar singer had some answers for her concerned fan in a recent People magazine interview. Speaking to the magazine, the 51-year-old opened up about the struggles she had with her body image in the past, and how her new role as L’Oréal Paris global ambassador has helped her now feel more confident. 

"I’ve never felt as beautiful, as strong, and I really think that the best is yet to come.” She said.

She attributes her drastic weight loss to her busy performance schedule and the constant dancing she is doing these days.

 “Dancing has been in my DNA all of my life,” she told the magazine, “It’s a dream. And so hard!”

She is now training with the help of her new friend, dancer Pepe Muñoz. There have been rumors that the two are an item but she insists he’s a friend who also helps with her fashion choices. 

Dion also reminds everyone that dancing takes a lot out of you, especially the new regiment of ballet that she does four times a week. She clapped back to those who criticize her new look:

“People say, ‘She’s a lot thinner’ but I’m working hard,” she said. “I like to move and [weight loss] comes with it.” 

The singer celebrated her recent 51st birthday by wrapping up her Las Vegas residency and has also just been named as the face of L’Oreal Paris, reports Vogue. With the recent passing of her husband and manager René Angélil in 2016, it seems like Céline is trying to move forward from the tragedy.
