Last updated 16th Apr 2024
Celine Dion is set to release a new documentary which will give fans an insight into her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome. And now the first look at the documentary and release date have been announced.
The documentary is called I Am: Celine Dion and will show Celine's journey with the condition, as well as her balancing her career with her illness.
In the first look photo fans get to see a determined Celine, side on as she makes a fist with her right hand.
Speaking about the documentary in a statement, the 55-year-old singer said: "This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me. The journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me.
"As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realised how much I have missed it, being able to see my fans. During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis."
The documentary will be directed by Irene Taylor and has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios.
The release date for the film has now been announced as the 25th June, and it will be available to stream on Prime Video.
In 2022, Celine revealed that she is suffering from the rare neurological disorder Stiff Person Syndrome. In an interview with 7 Jours in December 2023, Celine's sister Claudette Dion shared an update, sadly revealing that Celine 'doesn't have control of her muscles.'
She said: "What pains me is that she has always been disciplined. She always worked hard. The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me."
Claudette also said that Celine's fans have been offering support, sending messages and gifts regularly.
