Shania Twain tells her life story in new Netflix documentary
Shania Twain's going to getcha good as the five-time Grammy award-winning and best-selling female artist in country music history will be making 17 stops in Canada during her Queen of Me worldwide tour. The tour announcement is in conjunction with her new album labelled Queen of Me set to release on Feb. 3, 2023.
Shania Twain's net worth is the result of her domination over both the country and pop charts over the years. It may surprise fans to learn that this country queen isn't even from the South—she's Canadian! That hasn't stopped the Ontario-born singer from becoming one of the most prolific country artists.
For years, she was unable to project her voice, which doctors assumed was due to Lyme disease. Twain contracted the disease from a tick bite in 2004. Her vocal problems would eventually lead to a 15-year hiatus and that longstanding belief that she would never be on stage again.
Shania Twain reflects on being told Lyme disease meant she might never sing again. Shania Twain has recalled the “depressing and devastating” realisation she was told she may never sing again after contracting Lyme disease and having open-throat surgery.
Twain underwent two open-throat surgeries in 2011. Shania Twain says she was "petrified" about making a sound following her open-throat surgery just over a decade ago. Her fear, however, immediately dissipated when she made the first sound. Suddenly, she was excited.
Taylor Swift is now the female artist with the most weeks at No. 1 in the history of Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. Swift's albums have now notched 99 weeks at No. 1 on the chart, besting previous record holder Shania Twain, whose albums have spent 97 weeks as the Top Country Albums chart leader.
Her self-titled debut album was released on April 20, 1993, in North America and garnered her audiences outside Canada. Shortly before its release, she sang backing vocals for other Mercury artists, including on Jeff Chance's album Walk Softly on the Bridges (1992) and Sammy Kershaw's album Haunted Heart (1993).
The singer suffered a bout of Lyme disease that caused her to lose her voice for years. US singer Shania Twain has admitted she would rather have the “big scar” that was left after “invasive” open throat surgery than have no singing voice.
Shania, who grew up in Timmins, Ontario, has been exposed to French enough in her lifetime to be able to speak the language. Not to mention she's also married to a Swiss man with the most French name ever (Frédéric Thiébaud), and the duo live in French-speaking Switzerland.
The singer welcomed son Eja D'Angelo Lange, 22, on Aug. 12, 2001, with her then-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange. "My priorities, of course, have changed. He's my focus of every day," Twain said about Eja, pronounced "Asia," in a 2002 interview on the CBC.
Shania Twain's son, Eja Lange, has purchased what Variety calls a "starter house" in Los Angeles, but it's not exactly a humble bungalow. The 19-year-old aspiring musician paid more than $1.8 million for a home in the California hills that is absolutely stunning.
Firefighters found the bus on its side, Stone said. They had to break windows and use the bus's emergency hatch to free 13 people stuck inside. "It looks like they lost control, went into the ditch sideways and then the wheels caught the ground and it rolled," he said.
Shania Twain says her touring family is safe following a bus rollover in Saskatchewan that involved members of her stage crew. “Thank you so much for the out pour of love and support from everyone,” Twain shared on her Instagram story Thursday evening.
