LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Celine Dion, who is battling with Stiff Person Syndrome, is bravely navigating the challenges of the rare and incurable neurological disorder.

Celine Dion is 'being very vulnerable' amid her battle with SPS

Speaking about how the 'I'm Alive' songstress handles her condition, the source admitted, "She has good days and bad. This disorder is unpredictable. She’s being very vulnerable."

Despite the struggles, Dion remains hopeful the release of her new documentary titled 'I Am: Céline Dion' will provide her fans a peek into what she has been going through.

"This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me,” the singer said of being open with her fans.

"As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed it, of being able to see my fans," she continued.

"During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition," she added, according to OK Magazine.

"Those who have been blessed enough to be here at the Grammy Awards must not take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and people all around the world," she added.

"Now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends — Diana Ross and Sting — presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for the Album of the Year," Dion shared.
