Last week, the 'My Heart Will Go On' hitmaker sat down with Hoda Kotb from NBC's Today to discuss her new documentary. She also opened up about her battle with SPS.
"It's been very difficult, very painful, challenging, scary," she said.
The presenter asked her what SPS had taken away from her.
"It didn't take anything away from me. I'm gonna go back on stage, even if I have to crawl, even if I have to talk with my hands," she replied.
The new documentary is set for release on 25 June on Amazon Prime.
