Celine Dion “almost died” during her battle with stiff person syndrome.
The 55-year-old singer – who was diagnosed with the autoimmune neurological disorder, which affects the muscles, in 2022 – will document her health battle in a new feature-length documentary called I Am: Celine Dion.
Shortly before it is released, a new interview with Hoda Kotb will debut on NBC, and the presenter admitted she was shocked by the struggles the My Heart Will Go On hitmaker has faced.
Speaking on Today with Hoda and Jenna on May 23, Kotb said: “It was so jarring to me and moving, I couldn’t believe what they were able to capture in that documentary.
“Celine Dion at some point, she is now much better, but at some point she almost died, which is something she says.”
