Shania Twain's tragic past - family accident, husband swap divorce and brutal health battle


Few artists can say they’ve secured a Las Vegas residency – but Shania Twain has achieved not one, not two, but three in her career. So it’s only fitting that the 58-year-old star secured the Pyramid Stage’s legends slot for her Glastonbury debut over the weekend.

In May, Shania began her third Las Vegas residency – called Come On Over: All The Hits and hosted at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino – and it spans all the way to December, with 24 soon to be sell-out shows in total. However, after her Greatest Hits album, Shania decided to take a musical hiatus in 2005 after experiencing vocal difficulties and dysphonia, which is an impaired ability to produce sound due to tightened muscles. The singer has spoken about how music got her through her darkest times, from her health struggles to her painful 2010 divorce from husband Robert Lange, after he had an affair with her friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud, all of which was covered in Netflix documentary Not Just A Girl.
