Celine Dion may be seen fighting back tears as she explains her tragic Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis in her upcoming documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.
According to Radar Online, the iconic hit-maker spoke openly about the anguish her illness has caused her, noting that what she misses most is the ability to perform for her legion of admirers.
Dion has mainly avoided the media limelight since her health problems became known, and serious doubts have been raised as to whether she would ever recover sufficiently to perform again.
Though a slew of infrequent appearances earlier this year, including one to give an award at the 2024 Grammys, raised hopes, Dion appears no closer to
returning to the stage.
Remember, she was forced to cancel all of her world tour dates in 2023 and 2024, indicating that her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis is as serious as some have speculated.
In a new trailer for the star’s upcoming documentary, released Thursday, Dion is seen on the point of tears as she talks coping with a life in which she can no longer perform as she has for decades.
“I am working hard every day but I have to admit, it’s been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them,” she said.
Yet through all the hardships and tribulations, the 56-year-old remains steadfast in her commitment to return to doing what she does best, at any cost.
