His documentary ” I am: Celine Dion » was released on June 25, 2024 on the Prime Video platform. And singer Céline Dion shows herself more vulnerable than ever.
She who has not sung for 4 years talks about her daily life with the disabling disease she suffers from: stiff person syndrome. While she looks back on her impressive career, she also talks about motherhood, her greatest victory.
Images of the birth of René Charles
After years of struggling to get pregnant with the man of her life, René Angélil, the storks arrived in 2001. On January 25, a little René Charles was born in Palm Beach, Florida. And his mother doesn’t hide her pleasure.
She, who had been withdrawn since 1999, after the announcement of her husband’s cancer, extended her break from the stage until 2002. In an interview, she declared: ” Because I’ve been in show business for 20 years and I give of myself. I still gave my life, I didn’t really live it”.
Scenes that she wanted to include in her documentary, which she dedicates to her children. We therefore see the birth of his eldest, through personal documents never before shown to the general public. Céline Dion prepares her suitcase for maternity, she waits, lying in bed, for labor to begin, and finally, it is René who cuts the umbilical cord.
Her children are Celine Dion’s priority
Scenes from life that are now eminently important for the singer. Since the death of her sons’ father in 2016, she has decided to stop forcing her health. She recently confided to Anne-Claire Coudray: ” I said to myself: I don’t want my children to be afraid. I can’t take this pain of lying anymore. I’m afraid for my life, for my children, for my team, for my fans.”
She is solely responsible for the well-being of René Charles, and the twins Eddy and Nelson, from now on. This is why Celine Dion made the decision to step back. Regarding her career that she would so much like to see restart, she nevertheless believes: “We put so much weight on ourselves that we’re going to die and it’s not worth it when you’re a mother.« .
