As she talks about her devastating Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis for her new documentary I Am: Celine Dion, Celine Dion can be seen holding back tears.
According to Radar Online, the renowned hitmaker opened up about the suffering the diagnosis has brought her, saying that performing for her devoted fan base is what she misses most.
Since her health issues were made public, Dion has been mostly out of the spotlight, and many are sceptical about her ability to ever fully recover to the point where she can perform.
Even if a number of irregular appearances earlier this year, such as one to give an award at the 2024 Grammy Awards, offered hope, it appears that Dion is no closer to returning to the stage.
Recall that she was compelled to postpone her world tour dates for 2023 and 2024, which is undoubtedly an indication that her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome is as serious as some rumours have suggested.
Dion seems like she’s about to cry in a new teaser for her upcoming documentary, which was published on Thursday. In it, she talks about adjusting to a life in which she can’t perform like she has for the past few decades.
“I have to admit, it’s been difficult, even though I work hard every day. I really do miss it. The populace. She said, “I miss them.” Nevertheless, despite all of the difficulties, the 56-year-old is unwavering in her resolve to go back to doing what she does best, no matter what.
The five-time Grammy winner made a strong declaration in which she said she “won’t stop.” “I’ll walk if I can’t run. Dion remarked, “I’ll crawl if I can’t walk.” And I’m not going to give up.
I’m not going to give up. She continued, “I love every part of my life now that I’ve seen it.” “You know, doing a show isn’t that hard,” she remarked. It’s challenging to postpone a show.
On March 15, this year, Dion provided an update in honour of SPS Awareness Day. Her social media message said, “Today is recognised as International SPS Awareness Day around the world.” “As many of you are aware, I received a Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) diagnosis in the autumn of 2022.
One of the most difficult experiences of my life has been attempting to manage my autoimmune disease, but I’m still committed to returning to the stage and leading a regular life eventually. “I sincerely appreciate all of your love and support, as well as that of my kids, family, and team! “I would like to express my support and encouragement to everyone who has been impacted by SPS worldwide. I desire you. To know you can do it! We can do it.
