Céline Dion Shares Raw Video of Stiff-Person Syndrome Crisis in Never-Seen Footage from New Documentary

In a devastating moment from “I Am: Céline Dion,” the famous person battles through an unexpected and horrifying SPS episode.

Fans are getting an unheard-of glimpse inside Céline Dion’s tribulations during the last few years of her life.

After being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in August 2022, the 56-year-old superstar tentatively but proudly returns to the recording studio in a devastating sequence towards the end of her new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion (available for streaming globally on Prime Video).

Shortly after, as part of her continuous treatment regimen, she makes her way to physical therapy and her foot starts to hurt.

Dion’s body locks up, indicating that she is in severe agony while her care team gives her a diazepam nasal spray during the SPS crisis episode. One of her teammates says, “We’ll do a 9-1-1 if she goes back into a spasm.”

In the movie, Dion subsequently remarks, “Every time something like this happens, it makes you feel so embarrassed.” “I’m not sure how to say it. You know that you dislike losing control of yourself?

The five-time Grammy winner thought back on the horrifying moment that director Irene Taylor’s crew captured on camera during her PEOPLE cover interview.

“Overstimulation—whether it be happiness, sadness, sound, or a surprise—can put me into a crisis—that’s one part of the [SPS] condition,” Dion explains, adding that she “did not see” the crisis episode coming that day. “Before something triggered, I was fine.”

Taylor’s understanding of the condition deepened when she was “two feet away” from Dion during the crisis.

Taylor remarks, “That was really amazing, not just for Céline to go through it, but for me to see as well.” “I continued to film because that is how I work, and I thought we would decide later whether or not to incorporate that into the movie.”

Dion and Taylor had developed a close relationship by the time the movie was in post-production, and according to Taylor, “I knew that putting it in the film was really not a risk because she believed in me at that point.” “I really can only thank her for that because she is an open book, was there, and didn’t hold anything back.”

Dion is attempting to humanize the uncommon illness through the movie and contribute to fund-raising efforts for scientific studies in the pursuit of a solution.

Neuropathy has a very broad spectrum. For this reason, I’m making a lot of effort to raise money so that people can speak with their husbands, friends, or neighbors about it,” Dion explains.

Adds Dr. Amanda Piquet, the doctor who diagnosed Dion and director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus’s program on autoimmune neurology: “There are many exciting things in store for SPS, and the future looks bright.”

Celebrated country music singer, dies at 79 after Parkinsons battle….

A beloved figure from the music world, known for his sharp wit and satirical edge, has passed away at the age of 79, leaving fans in shock. This larger-than-life personality first gained fame in the early 1970s with a boundary-pushing, unconventional style that forever altered the landscape of country music. His provocative lyrics and fearless performances quickly earned him a loyal following, and he continued to surprise audiences with his bold approach to both music and life. His journey, which included a remarkable collaboration with one of the most iconic musicians of all time, was as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.

The late singer first rose to prominence with his satirical country band in the early ’70s, delivering unforgettable hits like “They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed.” Although the band’s time was brief, his solo career flourished, and he embarked on a two-year tour with Bob Dylan, solidifying his place in music history.

Kinky’s colorful career extended beyond music. In 2006, he made headlines by running for governor of Texas, challenging incumbent Rick Perry. Although he finished fourth, his candidacy drew widespread attention and showcased his unique approach to politics. He later ran for the Democratic nomination for agriculture commissioner in 2010 and 2014, continuing his unconventional forays into public service.

A close friend, Clive Hattersley, fondly remembered Kinky as “an extraordinary communicator who could stir deep emotions—whether through laughter or tears.” Hattersley also revealed that Kinky had been quietly battling Parkinson’s disease in the years leading up to his death.

Throughout his prolific career, Kinky released 18 albums, with his final one, Circus of Life, arriving in 2018. His legacy of wit, music, and unapologetic authenticity will endure, leaving a lasting imprint on both his fans and the world of satire.
