"I love you right back. When I say I am happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart. Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must not take for granted tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world. Now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends — Diana Ross and Sting — presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for the Album of the Year," the singer, 55, who is currently battling Stiff-Person Syndrome shared.

Dio had to cancel her tour as her symptoms worsened.

The hitmaker's sister Claudette later shared more insight into how her sibling is doing during this tough time.

"What breaks my heart is that she's always been disciplined. She's always worked hard," she said in an interview in December 2023.

Claudette explained: "Our mother always told her, 'You're going to do it well, you're going to do it properly.' It's true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don't know."
