12. Liza Minnelli
Would you believe that Liza Minnelli suffers from scoliosis? The woman is seemingly unstoppable! She performs and looks absolutely stunning pretty much all the time. Yet there was a period when Liza had to undergo an operation that involved two false hips as a result of her back disease. Ouch! That did not seem to stop Liza though, and she continued singing, dancing, and acting her way into the hearts of America and other places around the globe. Good on her for powering through the tough times. And those must be some pretty durable false hips to keep up with her swing!
11. Yo-Yo Ma

Yo-Yo Ma is such an accomplished musician, and his music just speaks to us and the depths of our souls. It seems that his musical compositions are so soothing and full of emotion and power. Hey, training at Julliard will do that, huh? When Yo-Yo Ma was 25 years old, he underwent an operation to correct the curvature in his spine that was the cause of scoliosis. It is a bit different for corrective surgery to be performed in someone’s twenties, but we are glad that he recovered and can continue rocking that cello! He definitely showed scoliosis who’s boss!
