Summary

Céline Dion has been quietly battling Stiff Person Syndrome - a disorder that’s affected her ability to sing - since revealing the diagnosis in 2022. But this week, she sat down for a very candid interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb, in which she opened up about her intense struggle with SPS, her upcoming documentary, “I Am: Céline Dion,” and whether she’ll ever sing live again. There’s no denying she’s got a tough road ahead of her, but Céline is proving she’s a fighter. And she’s got the heart to go on.
