Shania Twain has revealed that she is losing her voice and is currently undergoing therapy to restore her speech.

Twain claims that years of suppressing her voice and her emotions have damaged her vocal cords.

The condition is called Dysphonia, which causes an impairment in the ability to produce voice sounds.

The condition manifested itself when she found out that her ex-husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, was having an affair with one of her BFF’s, Marie-Anne Thiébaud.

“During the course of my divorce, I dug a big hole and stopped growing and searching and had given up. I realized I had to climb back out…You can only help yourself. Others can support you. Just asking myself what I was going to do helped make a place for optimism. You start to isolate yourself in your own misery.”

Twain continues, “I had reached a point in my life where there was a bottleneck, physically, in my throat. Something had to give.”

She said that since her discovery, she is now on the road to recover her lost voice. “I’ve only just discovered what’s wrong. Next comes rehabilitation, which will take a long time. Physical rehabilitation, voice therapy, learning how to breath again…and the singing will come.”

This saddens me, I was hoping for a new album. I love her.

Shania is currently promoting her new book and was spotted at The Grove yesterday for a signing.
