In an upcoming interview with Hoda Kotb, the Grammy-winner, who was diagnosed with the neurological disorder in 2022, revealed that the disease nearly killed her.
Teasing that her talk with Dion further—which airs on NBC on June 11—was "very emotional," Kotb concluded on an optimistic note, adding: "We'll see where she is on her journey of coming back, but I know people are cheering her on."."I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder," she says in the film's heart-breaking trailer."And I wasn't ready to say anything before. But I'm ready now.
Sharing that the hardest part about the disease is her inability to perform, Dion noted, "It's not hard to do a show now, it's hard to cancel a show. I'm working hard every day, but I have to admit—it's been a struggle. I miss it so much. The people. I miss them. If I can't run, I'll walk. If I can't walk. I'll crawl. I won't stop.
