A first trailer for the raw and emotional documentary I Am: Celine Dion has been released by Amazon Prime Video, documenting Celine Dion's recent struggles with her health.
The singer, 56, announced her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome in December 2022, and is now sharing an inside look into her time away from the stage, recovery, and the support of family.
Watch the trailer below as Celine gets emotional over her health and being off stage, candid glimpses of her life with her three sons, her tearful revelations about her recovery, and more…
The documentary will be released on Amazon Prime Video on June 25, a long-awaited comeback of sorts for the singer, who has receded from the public eye bar an appearance at the Grammy Awards in February.
Celine has also spoken with the Today Show's Hoda Kotb in an interview (her first since announcing her diagnosis) set to air on June 11, two weeks before the documentary's release, in which the two got candid about her health journey and Hoda even shared that Celine sang for her.
Other moments from the documentary sure to catch the viewer's eye include a look inside the Canadian songstress' stunning tour wardrobe, including her many couture pieces, archival footage from her show-stopping past concerts, and heartwarming glimpses of times at home spent with her three sons, René-Charles, 23, and twins Eddy and Nelson, 13.
