Valérie Lemercier must be delighted.
Céline Dion
, the huge Quebec star who put her career on hold to treat her illness, will speak out in a documentary on Amazon Prime Video.
Its release date has not yet been announced.
The singer wants to reconnect with her fans on this occasion, having retired from the stage for almost two years.
All his concerts until April 2024 have been canceled.
For the moment, his state of health still prevents him from giving a return date.
His neurological pathology, “stiff man” syndrome, also affects his vocal cords.

Raise awareness about your illness
It is precisely this recent period that Céline Dion wants to tell about.
“These last few years have been a great challenge for me, from discovering the disease to learning how to live with it and manage it, without letting it define me
,” she said on her Instagram account, choosing words which reveal the importance of the illness from which she suffers.
“As I get back into my career, I realize how much I missed being able to see my fans.
During my absence, I wanted to document this part of my life to raise awareness about this little-known disease and help people who share this diagnosis
,” she continues.

Amazon, for its part, promises
“a raw and intimate portrait of a pivotal period in his personal life and career.”
The camera should follow Celine Dion at home and in the recording studios.
Two years ago, the singer had already spoken out about this biographical documentary project, then at an embryonic stage.
At the time she wanted to provide “
an indisputable and definitive vision
” of her rich journey.
His illness will have changed, at least in part, the angle of this film.
It will be directed by Irene Taylor, an American to whom we owe documentaries in a rather intimate vein on themes such as nature or illness.
