The beloved hitmaker, 56, seemed overwhelmed with emotion as she addressed the crowd before the movie. She gave a tearful speech, thanking all the people who have helped her along the way through her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\">Celine made an appearance on the red carpet in a flowy white button-down top and a matching skirt. Before the documentary premiered, Celine took the stage to address the crowd, and thank everyone for their support while she works towards getting back to performing. Before the premiere, she thanked her physician, Dr.\u00a0<strong>Amanda Piquet<\/strong>, the documentarian,\u00a0<strong>Irene Taylor Brodsky<\/strong>, and her three sons:\u00a0<strong>Ren\u00e9-Charles<\/strong>, 23, and twins\u00a0<strong>Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Eddy<\/strong>, both 13.
