Celine Dion Health

'Love Again' is the first new song Celine has released since announcing her shocking health diagnosis in December. She revealed that she has a rare neurological disorder known as "stiff-person disorder". 

The disorder causes spasms and affects her singing. Celine was forced to reschedule several shows. 

“Unfortunately the spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to. I have a great team of doctors working alongside me to help me get better and my precious children who are supporting me and giving me hope. I’m working hard with my support medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle," she said in an emotional video.

Celine told the publication she had so much fun working on the film.

"... to have the privilege of appearing with the beautiful and talented actors Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan in my very first feature film is a privilege that I will cherish forever."
