Things can only go "UP" from here for country superstar, Shania Twain.
The Canadian singer just announced the news of her upcoming Las Vegas residency.
She's also been opening up about the health struggles that kept her from making a comeback sooner.
It’s a disease that is primarily carried and transmitted by deer ticks.
If treated with antibiotics fast enough, you can cure the infection.
If not, its symptoms can be truly debilitating.
This includes fellow Canuck, Avril Lavigne and reality star, Yolanda Hadid.
Both have been public about their battle with the disease.
Avril was even bedridden for five months because of it.
“When you’re a singer and it’s your voice, it is just a terrible, terrible feeling,” she recently told Extra.
She had lost her voice due to dysphonia, which was caused by the Lyme disease.
She spoke about the ordeal recently.
“I had to have an operation that was very intense and it’s an open-throat operation," she told Extra. "Very different from a vocal cord operation.”
“I had to have two of them, so that was really, really, really tough and I survived that — meaning emotionally I survived — and am just ready to keep going.”
“I was very scared for a little while that I wouldn’t sing again, ever,” she revealed in an interview with People.
“I went through that moment, but I found a way. I found a way to do it.”
“Very, very difficult” is how she described the vocal warmups and physical therapy she had to endure.
In 2008, she split with her husband of 14 years, Robert “Mutt” Lange.
This meant that she had to face her health battles alone.
“I was shattered," she said. “How many more traumatic moments can I take?’
She’s since remarried to Frederic Thiebaud.
There, she’ll join the ranks of past performers who have graced the grand stage.
We have no doubt she'll play her hit classic, "Man, I Feel Like A Woman."
starts singing
It starts in December and will go all the way until June 2020.
It's been a decade too long without her on stage performing.
From not being able to sing to now performing in Las Vegas, it's truly a monumental change for the star.
We can't wait to see what happens next!
