Celine Dion says ‘I’m back’ after Stiff Person Syndrome struggles

“I was like, well, should I just go to bed really, really late at night and start smoking?” she jokes.

“I was jealous. I was like, they’re going out, they’re partying, they’re barely cleaned up, and they’re amazing.”

That’s a contrast with the strict regime she has held herself to for much of her career.

“I was like, don’t talk, and don’t eat this, that’s too much dairy, it’s going to produce phlegm.”

She continues to joke that perhaps she will throw her classical training out of the window and adopt a new persona with a husky tone.

“How about that for a concert?” says Celine, winking at the camera.

She is managing to keep a sense of humour through her ongoing health battles.

But whatever style she chooses, fans will be extremely glad to see her back.

I Am: Celine Dion will be released on Amazon Prime Video on 25 June, and her extended interview with Emma Vardy can be seen on BBC iPlayer
