The 56 year old icon’s documentary is set to premiere on June 25, signalling a tentative step back into the limelight following a period of privacy post-diagnosis, except for a notable appearance at the Grammy Awards in February. Opening up about the process of creating her documentary, Celine recently shared: “This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me.
“As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have [realised] how much I have missed it, of being able to see my fans. During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis,” she said ahead of its release on Prime Video.

“This documentary is a raw, intimate portrayal of a pivotal time in her personal life and career, pulling back the curtain on her journey as she overcomes an unthinkable diagnosis. It’s an [honor] to be trusted with her story, and we can’t wait to share it with Prime Video audiences around the world.”
