Celine Dion has been candid about her stiff person syndrome battle, especially after she starred in the documentary I Am: Celine Dion.

However, in one scary moment, the musician suffered from a seizure, and it gave an insight into how serious her condition was.

According to Page Six, the scene begins with the musician's doctor evaluating her body because of the spasms that she experienced due to the illness.

"Part of the disease is that as soon as you go into a contraction, sometimes... the signal to release it, doesn't understand, so it ends up just staying in a contracted position," therapist Terrill Lobo said.

The French-Canadian songstress proceeded to lay face down on a massage bed while having spasms. Later on, her body went into a seizure, and the doctor immediately asked another member of his medical team to bring him Valium for her nervous system.

In a heartbreaking moment, the musician continued groaning in pain as she lay down on the bed. After the doctor lifted her on her side, Dion broke down into tears. There was even a moment when the singer turned red, and her eyes were wide as she couldn't move on her own.

As Lobo attempted to calm her down, the singer continued crying and sobbing louder.

After he was given a nasal spray medication, Dion fortunately started to feel better as the seizure stopped, but the doctor noted that if it hadn't stopped, she would've been rushed to a hospital.

"I don't know how to express it, like, it's just ... you know, like, to not have control of yourself?" the "It's All Coming Back to Me" songstress said.

This scene is from her emotional documentary I Am: Celine Dion, which is now available for streaming on Prime Video.

In other updates about the chanteuse, Celine Dion is reportedly making a comeback in a few weeks as organizers of the Paris Olympics invited her to perform in July.

"Celine has made no secret of her desire to make it back to the stage, and Paris would be the perfect opportunity for her to do that," a source told The Sun, adding, "Unlike other offers which are full shows, making an appearance at the opening ceremony would see Celine performing just one song."

As of this writing, neither the singer nor her team have yet to confirm whether the rumors are true.
