LOS ANGELES, CALIFRONIA: Celine Dion has been having a terrible time due to her persistent health issues, which is why she was unable to attend the premiere of her new movie, as per reports. Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan attended the premiere of 'Love Again' earlier this month, but Celine, who portrays herself in the romantic comedy, was conspicuously absent.
The 55-year-old was reportedly not healthy enough to attend. The insider stated, "It's been a difficult time for her. She's having difficulty walking and experiences periods of intense pain that come out of nowhere."

According to a source, Celine has been doing yoga and physical therapy in the hopes of performing on stage again next year. "She's refusing to accept defeat," the source added. The insider continued, "She needs to accept the treatment. And lots of R&R," as reported by RadarOnline.
'It's sad that her illness is preventing her from doing the thing she loves most'
The insider continued, "She's going to fight this with everything she's got. She just wants to sing live in front of an audience again. She's determined to perform on stage. It's sad that her illness is preventing her from doing the thing she loves most. Knowing Celine, she will perform again very soon," as reported by RadarOnline.
Celine has relied on her friends and family for assistance throughout the difficult times. According to a source, the singer has been speaking with her longtime friend Shania Twain about the situation.
