This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me,
the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it,
but not to let it define me.
As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed it,
of being able to see my fans.
During this abscence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life,
to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition,
to help others who share this diagnosis.
I was fortunate to meet Irene Taylor, who directed this movie with such sensitivity and grace,
and who is so gifted in telling the story.
I'm so proud of the work she did, along with her whole team.
I want to thank the composer, Redi Hasa for his extraordinary musical score for this movie,
his close collaborators Ludovico Einaudi and Alberto Fabris
and all of the musicians who shared their amazing talent with us on this soundtrack.
I especially want to thank my medical team, all the great doctors and experts
who are helping me immeasurably as I learn about a new life with my condition, and how to thrive.
Most of all, my dear children, René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy...
I can't do this without you.
