“Queen of Country-Pop,” Shania Twain ruled the world in 1990, giving smashing hits one after another. Twain gave many major hits of the decades, including songs like “You’re Still the One” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” which still rule our hearts.
The Country Queen also became the female solo artist to sell the most albums in 2015 when her album “Come On Over” sold more than 40 million copies, setting Guinness World Record. Additionally, a new Netflix documentary titled Not Just A Girl about Twain’s life and work is available.
However, the Grammy award-winning singer recently, during the pandemic, was hit by covid pneumonia. Fortunately, the singer completely recovered from her severe illness. With ups and downs in her life, whether it is battling Lyme disease or heartbreaks in her love life, the singer is coping with her life. So, what with her up now? Here is a sneak peek into Twain’s life.
How did Shania Twain battle Lyme disease?
In the year 2002, Twain abruptly vanished from the public’s eye after releasing her album “Up.” As reported by CNN, the singer was struggling with Lyme disease, which became a barrier to her singing. Twain had a major vocal loss, which created enough panicking situations that she might “never sing again.”
How did Twain lose her voice?
Twain’s vocal cords were already in bad shape, and the condition worsened gradually as her health went down. This eventually led to her losing her voice. This led to her staying away from the music industry for nearly 15 years. She was forced to stop playing, and it was a depressing time for her.
She believed that the symptoms she faces could be tiredness or weariness from her recently concluded tour and that she had recently embraced motherhood, but the issues persisted.
Her voice finally came back in 2012. Twain began her 2-year residence in Las Vegas as Shania: Still the One. She gave 105 performances in the Colosseum at Ceasars Palace. Her subsequent Rock This Country Tour was a huge hit in 2015 and was widely appreciated by her fans.
Who is Shania Twain married to? All about her love life:
Shania Twain married Robert “Mutt” Lange, who is a producer, in 1993. At that time, they were pretty close, and Lange even co-wrote and produced her songs. However, the cheating scandal led to their separation, and the couple eventually separated in 2107.
It was an affair that Lange was having with Twain’s best friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud. Twain was devasted by the revelation, and it left her broken. However, Shania Twain is happily married now to none other than Frédéric Thiébaud. He is a Swiss businessman and also, with the odd change in events, her ex-best friend’s ex-husband.
What is Not Just A Girl about? Shania Twain’s new Netflix documentary
The documentary, Not Just a Girl, teaches all about the Country singer’s life. It has showcased some of the major events in her life, from the birth of her son, Eja, to her contraction of Lyme disease. In 2010, she gets divorced Lange, who cheated on her with her best friend.
In the end, it’s her life that comes back on track as she regains her confidence as a singer. Twain continues writing and recording her creative ideas to continue her good work.
What is Shania Twain doing now?
After 15 years of break, Twain’s fifth studio album was released in 2017. Even the singer is not grumbling about her ex-husband’s cheating scandal and seems to be moved on from the past. Moreover, a new documentary titled Not Just A Girl about Twain’s life and work was also released in July 2022. The documentary is available on Netflix.
