#298: I Am: Celine Dion

Bang On

Spoiler alert! This week, it’s all about woman of the moment Celine Dion and the new documentary that’s given us all a new appreciation of the superstar singer.

I Am: Celine Dion follows Celine as she deals with the aftermath of her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. It’s a confronting look at the harrowing physical toll the illness has taken on her health and her voice.

We learn about her upbringing as one of 14 children, go behind the scenes into her warehouse of extraordinary farshun, and get a peek into her everyday life - from the most orderly sock drawer you’ll ever see to her kids’ bonkers gaming room.

And of course Myf and Zan have LOTS of thoughts: about celebrity, health, ageing, perfection and an an old-school entertainer who’s given an extraordinary window into her life.
