Derek Hough Describes His Reaction To The New Documentary
Canadian pop icon Celine Dion revealed that she was living with Stiff-Person Syndrome back in 2022. Unfortunately, her illness took a massive toll on both her personal and professional lives. Her three sons even felt terrified that their mother would die.
I Am: Celine Dion focuses on her road to recovery and finding herself again. Although Derek Hough loved the show, it definitely brought up some bad memories.
“Watched Celine Dion’s new documentary, ‘I Am Celine,’ last night,” Derek captioned his Instagram post. He went onto share what a positive experience he and Hayley had when they met the singer. Although he and his wife found the documentary incredibly powerful, it choked them up to the point where Derek could hardly get through it.
“A very difficult scene was seeing one of Celine’s SPS seizures play out in real time. It was so hard to watch seeing her in pain like that. It also reminded me of Hayley’s seizure on the side of the stage a few months ago. I could barely re-watch,” the DWTS judge continued.
“Celine is an absolute legend, with a unique and one in a billion voice. We’re so blessed to witness her talent in our lifetime. I pray she heals and returns to the stage she loves so much,” Derek concluded the post.
