The streaming giant just released the documentary trailer, giving insight into what personal details will be included.

Dion halted her tour schedule and took a step back from public life in 2022 following her diagnosis.

“Serving as a love letter to her fans, this inspirational documentary highlights the music that has guided her life while also showcasing the resilience of the human spirit,” a press release says of the project.

She goes on to discuss how much she loves performing, too. “When you record, it sounds great. But when you go on stage, it will be greater. I think we did create our own magic,” Dion says.
“It’s not hard to do a show, you know. It’s hard to cancel a show,” she adds at another point.
“I’m working hard every day, but I have to admit: It’s been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people, I miss them,” Dion says through tears. “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. And I won’t stop. I won’t stop.”

The “All By Myself” singer originally shared her diagnosis publicly in late 2022.
“I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through,” Dion said at the time, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
“We are still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what has been causing all of the spasms I have been having,” she added. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life. Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I am used to.”
