The ultimate diva, Celine Dion has been missing from her punishing concert schedule since 2020.
Seventeen years ago, she began to experience some voice spasming which steadily became worse - causing her to self-medicate in order to get through concerts.
In a new documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, the superstar comes clean about her illness, a neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome. The disorder attacks the muscular system causing spasms, breathing problems, and chronic pain.
Crucially for one of the most celebrated and technically gifted singers, it affects her voice.
In this new film, Dion sheds light on what her life has been like since she cancelled shows in Las Vegas and how she is dealing with the lack of control of her own voice and body. RTÉ Arena takes a deep dive above.
I Am: Celine Dion is streaming on Prime Video. Listen to more from RTÉ Arena here.
