After keeping her tragic health journey private, Celine Dion finally pulled back the curtain with the release of her “I Am: Celine Dion” documentary trailer. The epic teaser kicks off with archival footage of the legendary singer delivering one of her impressive high notes. “Is the sound man okay?” Dion jokes. As the trailer continues, clips of the Grammy-winner’s high energy concerts flash across the screen as she wisely states that her voice is the conductor of her life. “When your voice brings you joy, you’re the best of yourself. I need my instrument,” she continues. However, things take a heartbreaking turn when a man can be heard calling 911 before it transitions to Dion announcing her stiff person syndrome diagnosis. Despite the serious circumstances, the “I’m Alive” singer remains optimistic, with her exclaiming in a voiceover, “I see my life, and I love every piece of it.”

Toward the end of the trailer, Dion gives fans a sneak peek into how she has been navigating her diagnosis, including the various pills she consumes and the strenuous physical therapy in which she partakes. “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl, and I won’t stop,” she says in between tears. After the trailer’s release, “Today” host Hoda Kotb revealed more behind-the-scenes tea about the documentary, noting that Dion almost died from her disorder. “I couldn’t believe what they were able to capture in that documentary,” she said. “I Am: Celine Dion” is set drop on June 25, 2024.
