Celine Dion has released a new single titled “Love Again” despite her ongoing battle with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. The song is the title track to the forthcoming film of the same name, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan.
In a post on her legacy verified Instagram account, it was announced that the movie will hit theatres on May 5, with the full album, featuring five new Celine songs, being available on May 12. The lyric video for “Love Again” features scenes from the movie, in which Dion makes her film acting debut.
Dion, a Grammy winner, revealed just a few months ago that she was living with stiff-person syndrome, which affects “something like one in a million people,” according to the singer. In an emotional social media post, she shared that the spasms caused by the condition affect every aspect of her daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when she walks and not allowing her to use her vocal cords to sing in the way she is used to.
The release of “Love Again” showcases Dion’s resilience and determination to continue creating music, despite the challenges she is facing. The single also appears to have an LGBT-inspired theme, as the lyric video features same-sex couples dancing together. Dion has long been an advocate for the LGBT community, and her new single is sure to resonate with her fans.
Despite having to cancel her planned summer 2023 concerts and rescheduling others for next year due to her health condition, Dion’s latest release is a testament to her strength and unwavering commitment to her craft. As she continues to inspire her fans with her music, she remains a beacon of hope for those facing their own battles with illness and adversity.
