Celine Dion is set to share her inspiring journey of living with stiff person syndrome in a forthcoming documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion.” Despite her performing career being temporarily on hold due to the rare neurological disorder, Dion remains hopeful about returning to the stage.
In a recent Instagram post, Dion reflected on the challenges she has faced over the past couple of years, from the discovery of her condition to learning how to manage it without letting it define her. Expressing her eagerness to resume performing and connect with her fans, she decided to document this chapter of her life through the upcoming documentary. Dion aims to raise awareness about stiff person syndrome, a little-known condition, and provide support to others facing a similar diagnosis.
Having announced her hiatus from professional commitments in December 2022 to prioritize her health, Dion disclosed that stiff person syndrome prevented her from singing in the accustomed manner. Despite releasing new music and starring in a film alongside Priyanka Chopra, a source close to Dion suggested in May that she might not embark on tours again.
