Grammy-winning singer Celine Dion has revealed her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome in a preview for her upcoming documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion.” The 56-year-old artist shared her diagnosis of the rare neurological disorder, which has impacted her ability to perform.
Stiff Person Syndrome is known to cause muscle stiffness and painful spasms that can worsen over time. Despite the lack of a specific treatment, managing symptoms with the help of specialists can improve the quality of life for those affected by the condition.

The documentary, set to premiere on Prime Video on June 25, aims to showcase Celine’s resilience and love for her fans. It will also feature her three sons with late husband René Angélil, highlighting the music that has shaped her life.
In a recent interview with Vogue France, Celine shared her determination to face her health challenges head-on, stating, “I want to be the best I can be.” Despite the obstacles, she remains committed to her music and her fans, demonstrating a spirit of perseverance and strength in the face of adversity.
