CELINE Dion has shown glimpses of her stunning home in a new trailer.
The Canadian singer opened up about her life in a trailer for her upcoming documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.
In the trailer for the film shared on YouTube, Celine, 56, was filmed as she talked about her health.
Alongside a series of throwback clips, the pop music star spoke about her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome at her $5 million home in Las Vegas.
The beautiful mansion looked perfect for the musician, with a grand piano placed by floor-to-ceiling windows in one room.
In other clips, Celine was shown stretching and doing physiotherapy from the comfort of her home, as well as spending time with her family in her sunny garden.
Despite the beauty of her surroundings, however, the celebrity admitted that dealing with her condition was a “struggle.”
“I miss it so much,” Celine said as she cried, looking back to her time on stage.
“If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl,” she vowed, before a clip showed her returning to the studio.
I am: Celine Dion is set to be released on Prime Video on June 25.
DIFFICULT TIMES
In the documentary trailer, Celine revealed she was ready to talk about her diagnosis with “a very rare neurological disorder.”
Stiff Person Syndrome – which Celine shared she was battling in 2022 – can sometimes take away the ability for those diagnosed to walk or even talk.
After her diagnosis, Celine canceled her world tour, and has mainly stayed out of the spotlight since.
The rare condition is caused by persistent spasms and affects multiple muscles, according to University College London.
Most people who develop the illness are diagnosed between the ages of 40 to 60 years old.
‘ONE DAY AT A TIME’
Despite her illness, Celine wowed fans when she graced the cover of Vogue France for their May 2024 issue.
The star sported multiple high-fashion looks, and even went braless as she posed in just tights and an open shirt for one shot.
Alongside the stunning images, Celine opened up about her thoughts on beauty and hope for the future.
“I am truly very lucky. I am honored to be doing a photo shoot for Vogue France because although I had better health and beauty at 30, I didn’t get asked to do one then. I am very proud that at 55, I am being asked to reveal my beauty,” she said.
“But what is beauty? Beauty is you, it’s me, it’s what’s on the inside, it’s our dreams, it’s today. Beauty is what surrounds us, it is there. There are people that see it, and there are people that observe it.
“Today, I am a woman who feels strong and positive about the future. One day at a time.”
