Céline Dion shares heartbreaking footage of herself suffering a 'crisis' seizure for ten minutes -...

Flushed, tearful, exhausted and unable to control her own body, Céline Dion endures an agonizing ten-minute seizure in new scenes from a forthcoming documentary that lays bare her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome .

And a new clip, shared ahead of its release on June 25, captures Dion as her stricken body goes into 'crisis' during a filmed consultation with medical professionals. All the while, her bare-feet remain rigid as she battles the debilitating effects of the rare condition. She said: 'I still see myself dance and sing. I always find plan b and plan c, you know. That’s me. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl. But I won’t stop. I won’t stop.'

Estimates suggest it affects around 70 people in the UK and 330 in the US and remains little understood. Around twice as many women as men are hit with it. Other autoimmune conditions like vitiligo, which causes white patches of skin, and pernicious anemia are likewise associated with it. Spasms can be triggered by loud noises, with the condition also causing heightened sensitivity to sound.The spasms can be so severe they cause people to fall over or lead to difficulty walking and other disability.

'So she was in the best hands she could be in. If they needed an extra pair of hands, I would have dropped my microphone and gotten in help them without a doubt. But I did decide to keep filming, knowing that we didn't have to use it.' She also said: 'After the episode occurred, and she sang that beautiful song, she left in very high spirits. Believe it or not, she left that location in very high spirits. And she was actually taking care of me.

Her struggles are set to be documented in new Amazon Prime release I Am: Céline Dion - a heartbreaking look at the superstar's daily life with SPSThe documentary director Irene Taylor says Dion was adamant that the near 10-minute scene in which she experiences a lengthy spasm be retained 'Because I was like so overcome with, you know, this like 'Hell yeah', like emotion me. You know, when she did all of her Céline Dion things, her mannerisms, and so, I really appreciated that.'
