Celine Dion’s storied life is getting the documentary treatment.
The iconic singer shared on her official website on Tuesday that she is working on an official documentary about her personal life and career. Dion is working with Sony Music Entertainment and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Irene Taylor on the project.
“I’ve always been an open book with my fans, and with her sensitivity and thoughtful creativity I think that Irene will be able to show everyone a part of me that they haven’t seen before,” Dion said in a statement. “I know she’ll tell my story in the most honest and heartfelt way.”
Specific details on the documentary have not been revealed, however, the film will cover the singer’s life and career accomplishments, including her many awards, world tours and Las Vegas residencies.
