Celine Dion opened up about the difficulties of performing with Stiff Person Syndrome on “Today,” telling Hoda Kotb that singing is “like somebody’s strangling you.” Stiff Person Syndrome has prevented Dion from touring and caused her to stay largely out of the spotlight, though she made a surprise appearance at the Grammys in February and earned a huge standing ovation. Dion is telling all about her health battle in a new documentary for Amazon MGM titled “I Am: Celine Dion.” It will be available to stream on Prime Video starting June 25.
