In a tear-jerking revelation, Grammy Award and Billboard Icon winner Celine Dion has shared a deeply personal and heartbreaking glimpse into her struggle with stiff-person syndrome in her new documentary, “I Am Celine Dion.”

The footage, which shows the beloved singer enduring an intense seizure, has left fans and viewers worldwide in shock and sorrow.

On December 8, 2022, Celine Dion bravely announced her diagnosis of this rare neurological disease, which causes involuntary spasms and muscle rigidity, dramatically impacting her ability to perform and live her life as she once did.

She had been battling it secretly for over 20 years. She couldn't keep up the lies. Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a one-in-a-million condition that paralyzed her voice and stole her ability to sing. For two decades, her team canceled shows under various excuses until 2022.

She explained that the muscles in her chest push against her lungs, causing a strangling sensation. "I don't want fans to see this, but they need to," she said. She has struggled with it, tried to sing, heard the recordings, deleted them, and forced herself to do what she loves.

The video is from two years ago, and she is significantly better now. Celine Dion is in this year's lineup with Dua Lipa and Aya Nakamura to perform at the Olympics opening ceremony.

This intimate and raw footage was released to raise awareness about the debilitating condition and its profound effects.

The emotional clip has sparked an outpouring of support and empathy from fans and the public, who have always admired Celine for her incredible talent and resilience. The documentary not only highlights her physical struggles but also her indomitable spirit and determination to shed light on this little-known disease.

Celine’s courage in sharing such a vulnerable moment serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by those living with stiff-person syndrome and underscores the importance of compassion and awareness.
