Celine Dion has announced a new feature-length documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, which will give fans an insight into the singer’s battle with stiff person syndrome.
The film by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Irene Taylor is labelled as “a snapshot of a pivotal time in the life and career” of the singer and “captures more than a year of filming as the legendary singer navigates her journey toward living an open and authentic life amidst illness”.
Dion said she hopes the project raises awareness of the little-known condition.
“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,” Dion said in a statement.
“As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realised how much I have missed it, of 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.”
Since stepping out of the spotlight to focus on her health last year, Dion’s sister has been the one updating fans.
Keep going to see how the singer’s life has played out in the public eye so far.
