On June 25, Prime Video subscribers will be able to discover “I am: Céline Dion”, a documentary which will largely focus on the Canadian diva’s fight against stiff person syndrome.

We know: this degenerative neurological pathology prevents the 56-year-old artist from singing and going on stage. In an interview for NBC News, released this Friday, June 7, Céline Dion gives more details on this disease.
