Celine Dion finds strength amid battle with stiff person syndrome [Video]

Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion says living with a painful rare disease is a battle, though she doesn’t feel alone.

In an interview on Monday at the premiere for the Prime Video documentary “I Am: Celine Dion” in New York City, Etalk senior correspondent Lainey Lui asked Dion what gives her strength not to give up as she copes with stiff person syndrome.

“The mother in me,” she said, appearing to be close to tears. Dion has three sons: René-Charles Angélil, 23, and 13-year-old twin sons, Nelson and Eddy, with her late husband René Angélil. Angélil died of cancer in 2016. “It was a battle but I was not alone, and my family has been with me and my kids and wonderful doctors and all the fans.”
