Celine Dion's distinctive voice has been known all over the globe ever since she first rose to international fame as a Eurovision winner back in 1988.
She's had phenomenal chart success singing in both English and French over the last 35 years. Celine has sold over 200 million records worldwide and was the second woman in history to earn a billion US dollars in concert revenue.
Her songs have been featured on movie soundtracks from Beauty and the Beast (both versions) to Titanic, and her lengthy career has seen her become a pop-culture icon.
However, two years ago, Celine had to cancel several live shows as she was experiencing "severe and persistent muscle spasms" that were affecting her ability to perform.

In December 2022, she shared that the cause had been identified and she'd been diagnosed with a rare and life-changing neurological disorder known as stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which had been affecting "every aspect of my daily life".
What to Read Next
A new documentary I Am: Celine Dion is released this month, and covers a period in her life around the time of the singer's diagnosis when she was unable to tour.
In her own words, it marks "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," Celine added.
"During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life to help others who share this diagnosis."
The documentary has opened to glowing reviews, with a 100% critics' score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and widespread praise for its raw and candid storytelling.
Here's how you can watch I Am: Celine Dion as it gets its home streaming premiere.

There are two ways to access the Prime Video library. One is by signing up for a Prime Video-only membership, which costs £5.99 per month in the UK.

There's also live sport such as selected men's Premier League football matches – and from September, you'll be able to watch selected live UEFA Champions League matches, too.
Prime's catalogue also includes acclaimed movies – with plenty of Amazon Originals such as The Idea of You, Saltburn and American Fiction.
New releases this month range from tennis star Roger Federer's documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days to alternate history comedy-drama My Lady Jane.
Meanwhile, Amazon's full Prime membership (priced at £8.99 per month or £95 per year in the UK, with discounts for students or those aged 18-22 and free trials for new and eligible returning customers) brings you all the Prime Video content, plus further perks.
These include next-day or named-day delivery options on eligible orders, early access to flash sales (known as 'lightning deals' in Amazon-speak), plus access to Prime Reading and Prime Gaming.
Prime customers in the UK can also enjoy ad-free music and podcasts via Amazon Music with Prime (note this is a different service from Amazon Music Unlimited), cheap Odeon cinema tickets, up to a year's complimentary Deliveroo Plus Silver membership and – subject to availability in your postcode – grocery delivery and a year's free delivery on HelloFresh boxes.
Additionally, Prime members can share their benefits with one other person in their household (note this isn't possible with Prime Student).
Finally, Prime Video's content does have ads by default. You'll need to pay £2.99 per month extra to go ad-free – and this benefit can't be shared so each person in a household needs to purchase it individually.
