Celine Dion teared up after receiving a standing ovation at the New York special screening of her Amazon MGM documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion.”
“Thank you to all of you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of my journey. This movie is my love letter to each of you,” Dion told the audience at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on Monday night. “I hope to see you all again very, very soon.”
Directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky, “I Am: Celine Dion” chronicles about a year of the megastar’s journey with stiff person syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological and autoimmune disorder that causes muscular stiffness, inhibiting the ability to walk and sing.
