Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, many shared their thoughts on the powerful trailer as one person posted: ‘This video broke me into pieces. What a wonderful and strong woman.’

Celine Dion breaks down in tears in a trailer for her new Amazon Prime documentary called I Am: Celine Dion
Fans rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to admit the trailer had made them cry
One fan shared that the documentary trailer had ‘broke’ them ‘into pieces’
Another fan said they were ‘totally in shock’ at Celine’s diagnosis and current situation
Someone else commented: ‘Already crying. Queen you deserve nothing but health, love and all the praise. Stay strong Céline, we love you so so much and we miss you like hell,’ while a different user added: ‘Here I am crying over Celine Dion again. My 30+ year love of this woman knows no bounds.’
Another fan wrote: ‘One minute seeing the trailer and I cant stop crying. Imagine watch all the documentary (sic).’
In one shocking part of the trailer, a 911 call is heard being made over the backdrop of Las Vegas – where Celine performed an epic residency up until June 2019.
It’s unsure when or why the 911 call was made, but it was likely due to her struggles with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Celine revealed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with the degenerative disease.
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.
Towards the end of the trailer, the mother-of-three promises her fans that she will do anything to save her voice , which she describes as ‘the conductor of my life.’
‘When your voice brings you joy, you’re the best of yourself,’ as various clips of Celine recording music and performing over the years plays out.
Referring to her live performances, she then says: ‘It’s not hard to do a show, you know. It’s hard to cancel a show. 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.’
The trailer ends with her stating: ‘If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. But I won’t stop, she won’t stop.’
I Am: Celine Dion will be available to watch on Amazon Prime on June 25.
