"It's been hard for her to make peace with the changes to her life, her body, her capabilities, but Celine's hopeful that this project will shine a light on SPS and the quiet battles that so many people [like her] are going through," an insider revealed to Life and Style magazine.

Acknowledging the presence of both good and bad days in her life, an insider discloses the unpredictable nature of her disorder.

With unrivaled vulnerability, Celine attempts to provide a glimpse into her journey through the release of her latest documentary, titled "I Am: Céline Dion," now available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

Celine revealed, "This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me."

"As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed, being able to see my fans. During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition."

Having received a diagnosis that compelled her to cancel her global tour, Celine Dion has since restricted her public appearances considerably.

Triumph Over Tragedy

However, she made an extraordinary exception by gracing the 2024 Grammy Awards with her presence.

"I love you right back. When I say I am happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart. Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must not take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and people all around the world."

"Now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends - Diana Ross and Sting - presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for the Album of the Year."

As the "My Heart Will Go On" made her appearance, individuals eagerly joined the conversation, expressing their enthusiasm for seeing her out and about.

Another individual expressed, "Without a doubt, Celine Dion has faced numerous challenges recently. Therefore, it is truly heartening to witness her presence amid us."
