Transcript
00:00Tonight, Celine Dion suffers a medical crisis on camera. Unable to move, unable to speak.
00:11For the first time, we see just how debilitating her Stiff Person Syndrome really is.
00:16But I won't stop.
00:17Then Jeremy...
00:18Yeah.
00:19Yeah, we're going to have a lot of fun today, and it really is paradise here.
00:21Yes, it is.
00:22But for Celine Dion, she has been living a nightmare battling Stiff Person Syndrome.
00:26And now, for the first time, we are witnessing just how crippling this disease can be.
00:30Now, we want to warn you, what you're about to see is intense.
00:34Ready?
00:35One, two, three.
00:36She might be in spasm.
00:38Yeah.
00:39The footage is terrifying, but it shows what a full-blown seizure is like for Celine.
00:43Squeeze Brian's hand if you can.
00:45That a girl.
00:46Good job, boss.
00:47Good.
00:48So she's still with us.
00:49The singer, with tears in her eyes, is unable to move as she moans in agony.
00:55Celine, you're going to be okay.
00:57The heartbreaking scene goes on for almost eight minutes.
01:01Celine's sports medicine therapist treats her symptoms with a Valium and two doses of
01:05a benzodiazepine nasal spray.
01:09A few minutes later, she's okay and sitting up.
01:12So what caused the attack?
01:14The sun will rise again.
01:16Well, just minutes before, Celine was in the studio and thrilled with her progress.
01:22Your brain was just overstimulated.
01:24I wasn't sure if she was going to survive it.
01:27The director of the new doc, I Am Celine, which dropped today on Prime Video, told the
01:32Today Show watching and filming Celine's seizure was the most uncomfortable she's ever felt.
01:38I didn't know what was happening, and I had this uncertainty whether to keep filming or
01:45not.
01:47But she gave me the strength to keep going.
01:51I won't stop.
01:53Also on Stop.
