Celine Dion recently made a tearful introduction at the New York City premiere of the upcoming documentary “I Am: Celine Dion.”
The documentary, set to be released on Prime Video, focuses on the legendary performer’s life and her battle with stiff-person syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological disorder.
During her emotional speech, Dion thanked her physician, Dr. Amanda Piquet, and the documentary filmmaker, Irene Taylor Brodsky. She expressed gratitude to her children, René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy, for their unwavering support. Dion shared a heartfelt moment with her fans, acknowledging their constant love and support throughout her journey.
The five-time Grammy winner reflected on her condition and the impact it has had on her life. She compared herself to an apple, jokingly mentioning that she didn’t want her fans to wait in line if she didn’t have any shiny apples to offer. Dion was touched by a fan’s message that emphasized their support for her truth, rather than material things.
As the screening concluded, Dion and Taylor received a warm reception from the audience. Dion’s all-white ensemble, paired with elegant accessories, exuded grace and sophistication. The documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” is set to premiere on Prime Video on June 25, offering an intimate look into the life of the iconic singer.
The event was a heartfelt celebration of Dion’s resilience and the unwavering support she has received from her loved ones and fans. It was a powerful reminder of the strength and courage displayed by the “Queen of Power Ballads” in the face of adversity.
