I Am: Celine Dion will be released on 25 June, documenting the star’s health struggles over the last couple of years and her early career

Celine Dion has opened up about her battle with the rare neurological disorder stiff person syndrome in the trailer for a new Amazon Prime Video documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.

In the emotional trailer released yesterday (23 May), the 56-year-old performer is seen in tears as she discusses her condition. “I’m working hard every day. But I have to admit, it’s been a struggle,” she says. “It’s not hard to do a show, it’s hard to cancel a show. I miss it so much. The people, I miss them.”

She adds defiantly: “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. I won’t stop.”

Dion publicly revealed her stiff person syndrome diagnosis in December 2022, which has caused difficulties with her walking and singing. As a result, she had to cancel her planned 2023-2024 tour dates.

The documentary trailer features archive clips of Dion’s career interspersed with more recent footage of her going through physiotherapy. Sitting in a chair, she states: “I wasn’t ready to say anything before but I’m ready now.”
