Legendary singer Celine Dion has withdrawn significantly from the spotlight after she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome (SPS) back in 2022. While her performing career is in limbo, Dion is now working on a documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, chronicling her battle with stiff person syndrome that will shine a spotlight on the rare condition and her hopeful journey back to the stage. SPS is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that manifests in muscle stiffness, spasms, pain, unsteady gait, double vision, and slurred speech. In the wake of her ongoing struggle with stiff person syndrome, Dion has been receiving extensive support from her family, though her sister admits there has been only so much they can do about her pain. This documentary will teach viewers an unprecedented amount about SPS and Dion's experience with it.
