Your support makes all the difference.In 2022, My Heart Will Go On singer Celine Dion shocked the world when she revealed her diagnosis of a rare and incurable neurological condition called Stiff Person Syndrome.
Stiff Person Syndrome causes rigidity in the torso and limbs, along with muscle spasms. Affecting every aspect of her daily life, Dion said that the condition caused her difficulties when walking, and stopped her from using her vocal cords to sing the way she was used to. “As you know, I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before, but I am ready now,” she began in an emotional video posted to Instagram at the time.
Now, the singer is pulling back the curtain to reveal what it’s like to live with the condition in a new documentary titled I Am: Celine Dion, which has already achieved a rare 100 per cent score from critics on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
Directed by Oscar-nominated Irene Taylor, the film follows the Canadian star as she learns to cope with her diagnosis. Revealing that she first started noticing symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome 17 years ago. The Independent’s music editor Roisin O’Connor called the documentary “heart-breaking”, citing a scene in which Dion experiences a debilitating seizure when trying to record songs for the 2023 rom-com Love Again.
