Crippled, crying and convulsing in agony, Celine Dion's illness is unwatchably cruel. But, says...

In 'I Am: Celine Dion' we see an icon diminished, holed up amid Las Vegas splendor, crippled by agony, sustained by boatloads of Valium, literally seizing, weeping – shrieking – on camera.

'I don't want fans to hear that,' she cries, rasping out a few bars. She doesn't want to be seen but she feels she must. The problem: It's hard to know if her sheer force of will, her limitless bravery, will be enough. And who is Celine Dion without her voice? Stiff Person Syndrome , her autoimmune disease of one-in-a-million rarity, has paralyzed her voice and stolen her ability to sing.

But her hands contort like claws and soon she's lying rigid on her front, her back arching unnaturally, and unable to lift her neck.Diva down. But in admitting her embarrassment, at exposing her loss of control, Celine takes control – and gives us the most honest narrative she can muster of her life, her legacy, this cruel final chapter.
