Derek Hough is opening up about watching Celine Dion‘s new documentary.
The 56-year-old entertainer recently debuted her new I Am Celine Dion doc on Prime Video, which documented her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.
While reflecting on Celine‘s doc on Instagram, Derek, 39, wrote that he could “barely” watch it because it reminded him too much of his wife Hayley Erbert‘s seizure.

Haha,” Derek wrote along with a throwback video of him and Hayley, 29, meeting Celine after one of her shows. “She’s a firecracker, we were so nervous meeting the queen. Especially Hayley who is a diehard fan.”
“The documentary was incredibly powerful, showing Celine’s struggles with SPS but also her quirky and fun side,” Derek continued. “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.”
If you recall, Hayley underwent an emergency craniectomy in early December 2023, and had a second surgery a couple weeks later.
“Celine is an absolute legend, with a unique and one in a billion voice,” Derek concluded. “We’re so blessed to witness her talent in our lifetime. I pray she heals and returns to the stage she loves so much.”
Luckily, Hayley was able to recover following her health emergency and recently returned to dancing again.
I Am Celine Dion is available for streaming on Prime Video now.

There’s an emotional moment at the end of Celine Dion‘s new documentary I Am in which she triumphantly sings her favorite song after experiencing a stroke.
Celine Dion has opened up about her use of Valium, saying she “could’ve died” from the high dosages she was taking.The singer, who has just released her new documentary I Am: Celine Dion on June 25, was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022, causing her to reschedule and cancel planned tours.

Céline Dion didn’t want ANY part of her health battle left out of her new documentary.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “I Am: Celine Dion,” newly released for viewing on Prime Video, is so focused on what the singer has been through in more than a decade and a half of struggling with Stiff Person Disease that it’s hard to believe that director Irene Taylor didn’t even know Dion was ill when she signed on to the project. All she Taylor really knew, when she agreed to direct the film about a year of discussions, was that Dion seemed like a star who really, really had something to get off her chest… with little anticipation of just what kind of floodgates would open.

her new documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion.” The “My Heart Will Go On” singer, who suffers from a rare autoimmune neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome that has interfered with her ability to sing, is shown having a physical therapy session in 2022. On a massage table, she appears convulsing and writhing in pain, moaning in agony, as medical workers tend to her. A man then asks her, “Do you want us to take out the cameras?” But the Grammy-winning singer is shown mouthing, “I’m OK.” The documentary’s director, Irene Taylor, told Yahoo that Dion “didn’t want me to change anything” after watching that footage.
When veteran documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor met Celine Dion via zoom in Winter 2021 about the prospect of doing a docu chronicling her life and career she had no idea where this would ultimately take both the subject and the director. In fact she confessed she wasn’t really a fan, not familiar with Dion’s personal story or celebrated career selling over 250 million albums or anything else about her. She only knew a few of the hit songs she had. But they bonded anyway. The director had done many Emmy winning and Oscar nominated movies about Boy Scouts to trees to deafness to Polio, but nothing in this realm, and it certainly has turned into a film it did not start out to be, that neither expected, but now will be shared with the world when it premieres on Prime Video June 25.
Canadian megastar Celine Dion has sold out stadiums, topped worldwide charts and broken records with her award-winning voice. But for the last two years, the singer has been robbed of her talent by stiff person syndrome (SPS) – a devastating neurological disorder that causes spasms, muscle rigidity and chronic pain. “Last year, I got to a point where I couldn’t walk,” she says in a new TV documentary, breaking down in tears.
