Celine Dion planning TV special featuring her greatest hits: Report
What's the story
Internationally acclaimed singer, Celine Dion, is reportedly considering a TV special that will feature her greatest hits.
This consideration comes after the positive reception of the trailer of her upcoming documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.
Despite battling Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)—a condition that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms—Dion has been "preparing for this potential project for over six months with the help of voice coaches and band members."
Unyielding spirit
Dion's determination regardless of health challenges
In the recently released trailer for her documentary, the 56-year-old music legend shared her medical struggle and expressed a deep longing to return to the stage.
She firmly states, "I won't stop," reflecting her resolve to continue with her music—and her candid admission left fans sobbing.
Taking to X/Twitter, many users shared their thoughts on the trailer with one user posted: "This video broke me into pieces. What a wonderful and strong woman."
Struggles
'I Am: Celine Dion' slated for June 25 release
In a startling moment from the trailer, a 911 call is heard, where Dion held a memorable residency until June 2019.
The reason and timing of the call remain unclear, but it is likely linked to her battle with SPS.
Dion revealed her medical condition publicly in December 2022, prompting the cancellation of all concert tour dates in subsequent months.
The documentary is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 25.
