Over the long weekend I had the chance to sit down and watch “I Am Celine Dion” the new documentary about the legendary musician now streaming on Prime.<\/p>\n
It brought me to tears.\u00a0 Yes, it’s a bit of background on how Celine got started in music and her early career, but as is described in the info – it’s a love letter to her fans.<\/p>\n
We’ve come to know Celine Dion as a vocal powerhouse.\u00a0 She is unmatched.\u00a0 There is no one on this earth that comes close to her talent as a singer.\u00a0 It’s her pride and joy and as she shares in this documentary – it’s her whole identity.\u00a0 And her identity has been rocked to her very core with the diagnosis she received a few years ago – Stiff Person Syndrome.<\/p>\n
I knew nothing about the serious impact it had on her life until I watched this documentary.\u00a0 To see how it affects her is heartbreaking.\u00a0 There is one moment captured on film where her body goes into a seizure.\u00a0 She can’t move.\u00a0 Even her face is frozen aside from the tears going down her face and her crying out in pain.<\/p>\n
What you come away with is a deep appreciation of her music, her voice, and a realization of just how much she loves and appreciates her fans and how much she misses them.<\/p>\n
My heart goes out to her as she continues to heal.<\/p>\n
