Celine Dion Opens Up in Heartfelt Preview of ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ Documentary: Her Unwavering Journey

Céline Dion shares her journey with stiff person syndrome in a touching trailer for her documentary, showcasing her resilience and courage.

In the emotional preview of Prime Video’s I Am: Céline Dion, the 56-year-old singer reflects on the importance of her voice in her life. She expresses, “My voice is the conductor of my life. When your voice brings you joy, you’re the best of yourself. I need my instrument.”

Celine Dion revealed in December 2022 that she has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome. This condition has led to spasms that affect her vocal cords.

As a result of her illness, Dion had to cancel her tour, a decision she described in the trailer as one of the most difficult choices she has ever had to make.

"It's actually not difficult to put on a show, but the real challenge lies in having to cancel one," she admits while reminiscing about her years in the spotlight. Scenes from her extensive career on stage play in the background.

Dion fondly remembers the moments of creating pure "magic" as a performer and expresses her love for her life before becoming overwhelmed with emotion at the idea of never being able to sing again.

She admits that the road to recovery has been challenging, as she is putting in a lot of effort. She is currently undergoing physical therapy to regain her strength.

Tears fill Dion's eyes as she confesses, "I miss it so much. The people. I miss them."

Dion's commitment to performing on stage is a big part of who she is. She once said, "If I can't run, I'll walk. If I can't walk, I'll crawl. And I won't stop."

In a previous statement, Dion mentioned that the documentary is meant to bring attention to her rare disorder, which is not well-known.
