Canadian singer Celine Dion has released her first new music in four years. The release comes four months after publicly announcing that she had stiff-person syndrome. This song, titled ‘Love Again’, was recorded for the movie named after the song, which also marks Dion’s acting debut. There is a star-studded cast in the film, including Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, as well as a soundtrack featuring the song. It was Dion’s hit single ‘My Heart Will Go On’ that appeared in the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic and which made her a household name. ALERT: NEW TRACK! On Thursday, April 13, the singer posted a message on Instagram. From the motion picture, Love Again, the title track is now available.
We hope you mark your calendars for May 5, when the movie opens in theaters, and May 12, when the full Celine album will be released! Dion plays herself in the movie “Love Again”, which also features Nick Jonas. The singer announced that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome last December. This condition affects one out of every million people. Eventually, the disease can cause uncontrollable muscle stiffness, which can render the sufferer incapable of walking and speaking and cause them to become like a “human statue.” Dion stated she is doing all that she can to minimize the impact of the disease on her life and manage her symptoms.
Despite A Rare Neurological Condition, Celine Dion Returns After 4-Year Hiatus With ‘Love Again’
Despite being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder, Celine Dion is releasing new music months after she postponed a world tour. On Thursday, Dion released “Love Again,” the lead song from Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ upcoming film Love Again with Sam Heughan and Dion – in her first-ever film role. A total of 11 Dion songs are woven into the narrative and characters of Love Again. The film opens in theaters on May 5 and the soundtrack will be released on May 12. There are five new songs on the album in addition to six of Dion’s past hits, such as That’s The Way It Is and It’s All Coming Back to Me Now, and three compositions from the film’s score. I had a lot of fun making this movie. In a statement, the Grammy-winning icon expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan on her very first feature film. There’s a lot of feel-goodness in this story, and I hope that people will enjoy it as well as the new songs. According to Dion, she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in December, a condition that causes spasms that make it difficult for her to walk.
Eventually, the disease can cause uncontrollable muscle stiffness, which can cause the person to become like a “human statue”, unable to move or speak due to the rigidity of the body. Despite the lack of a cure, there are treatments that can slow down the progression of SPS. The incident forced her to postpone and cancel her Courage World Tour dates. She shared at the time that the spasms affect every aspect of her life, causing difficulties when she walks and preventing her from singing in the way she used to. It hurts me to tell you today that I will not be ready to resume my tour in Europe in February. As part of her rehabilitation process, Dion’s medical team is working on rebuilding her strength and capacity to perform. Several months ago, she told me, I have a fantastic team of doctors working with me to help me get better, and I have a loving family who supports and gives me hope. Singing is my favourite thing to do, and it’s what I’ve done my whole life.
