I Am: Celine Dion documentary - The singer, 56, breaks down in tears over battle with stiff person syndrome in first trailer for heartbreaking movie
The first trailer for the new Celine Dion documentary I Am: Celine Dion dropped on Thursday morning, offering a heartbreaking glimpse inside the singer's brutal battle with stiff person syndrome.
In the emotional video, the 56-year-old is seen desperately trying to save her voice, saying she will do anything to sing again, as she breaks down in tears over her health issues.
'My voice is the conductor of my life,' she says in the new trailer for the Amazon Prime film, which premiers on June 25. 'When your voice brings you joy, you're the best of yourself.'
As the music star – who attended a Rolling Stones concert recently – speaks, another voice is heard repeating Celine's name over and over while a 911 operator asks, 'What's your emergency?'
It was not made clear why 911 was called, but it was likely during Dion's struggle with stiff person syndrome.

Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), also known as stiff-man syndrome, is a rare neurological disorder that causes progressive muscle stiffness and spasms.
The spasms can be painful and come and go, and they can worsen over time. The stiffness usually affects the torso muscles, but can also affect the arms and legs.
Celine revealed that she had been diagnosed with the degenerative disease in December 2022.
The trailer offers viewers just a tease of the upcoming documentary.
In it, the Canadian admits she was reluctant to share too much about her recent struggles, however she does reveal how limited she is during her workouts.
By the time she was diagnosed, she had already postponed or canceled several concerts and live appearances.
'It's not hard to do a show, you know. It's hard to cancel a show,' she says in the trailer.
'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.'
Celine is bringing her trademark determination to fight her disease. 'If I can't run, I'll walk,' she declares. 'If I can't walk, I'll crawl.'

'At the beginning I would ask myself: why me? How did this happen? What have I done? Is this my fault? Life doesn't give you any answers. You just have to live it!'
Celine added: 'I've chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!'
Celine has also revealed whether she will ever take to the stage to perform again.
In her candid response she replied: 'I can't answer that.... Because for four years I've been saying to myself that I'm not going back, that I'm ready, that I'm not ready.
'As things stand, I can't stand here and say to you: 'Yes, in four months.' I don't know... My body will tell me.'
