Inside Shania Twain’s 20-year health battle after doctors said she may never sing again following blackouts and surgery
SHANIA Twain was robbed of her voice by a devastating health battle that threatened to destroy her career.
But the nineties icon has made a sensational comeback to the stage - culminating in her headline British SummerTime gig tonight.
The Man I Feel Like A Woman singer has just headlined Glastonbury, and will continue her Las Vegas residency later this year.
But there was a time when the country superstar - who has sold over 100 million records - was convinced she'd never perform again.
Shania, 58, opened up to The Sun in 2017 about contracting lyme disease from a unique type of tick while horse riding.

“So I was very lucky at all that it affected the nerves on my vocal cords, not the vocal cords.
“I lost my voice for several years and I could speak but I couldn’t yell. I could never yell for my dog or my son or whatever.
“I also felt that I was never going to make another album — that was probably my truth. It was devastating. I really grieved about that. It did bring me down and I struggled with it every day.
“It was very depressing and I was really sad about it but I still had my writing and my writing is my first love, really, over everything.
The That Don't Impress Me Much singer previously revealed that she follows a gruelling diet, and only eats liquids before her shows.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun, she said: "I only drink fluids all day until after the show.
“I drink my food, so I blend my food. Lots of blended spinach and blueberries.”
The Still The One Singer has also been praised for her glowing skin, saying she uses a homemade cleanser to take off her makeup, which she makes by mixing olive oil and sugar.
She religiously applies sun cream every day, and told The Cut that this has made a "huge difference" to her skin.
