The first trailer for the new Celine Dion documentary I Am: Celine Dion dropped on Thursday morning.
In the clip she said she will do anything to save her voice as she breaks down in tears over her health issues.
The My Heart Will Go On singer, 56, details the nitty gritty of suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome in the upcoming Amazon Prime documentary.
‘My voice is the conductor of my life,’ she says in the new trailer for the film, out June 25. ‘When your voice brings you joy, you’re the best of yourself.’
As Celine – who attended a Rolling Stones concert recently – speaks another voice repeats Celine’s name over and over while a 911 operator asks, ‘What’s your emergency?’
It was not made clear why 911 was called, but it was likely during Dion’s struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome.

In the clip she said she will do anything to save her voice as she breaks down in tears over her struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), also known as stiff-man syndrome, is a rare neurological disorder that causes progressive muscle stiffness and spasms.
The spasms can be painful and come and go, and they can worsen over time. The stiffness usually affects the torso muscles, but can also affect the arms and legs.
Celine was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in December 2022.
The trailer offers viewers just a tease of the upcoming documentary.
In it, the Canadian admits she was reluctant to share too much about her recent struggles. But she does reveal how limited she is during her workouts.
By the time she was diagnosed, she had already postponed or canceled several concerts and live appearances.
‘It’s not hard to do a show, you know. It’s hard to cancel a show,’ she says in the trailer.
‘I’m working hard every day, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them.’
Celine is bringing her trademark determination to fight her disease. ‘If I can’t run, I’ll walk,’ she declares. ‘If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl.’

‘It’s not an expansive look at the life and times of the iconic pop singer, instead capturing a snapshot of a pivotal time in her career.
‘The documentary spans about a year and chronicles Dion’s battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects the brain and the spinal cord.
‘In the case of Dion, the illness halted her livelihood and ability to perform,’ Variety reported.
I Am: Celine Dion hits Amazon Prime on June 25.
