Shania Twain will begin a new tour after her 15-month break at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas December 1, 2012. The concert series entitled, Still the One, will last for two years with 60 shows per year.
 
While audiences have waited 15-months for Shania grace us with her presence, she has been dealing with a medical condition known as dysphonia. She explains that the condition causes the muscles in her throat to squeeze her voice box. She believes it came about due to the traumatic events in her past, including the death of her parents in a car accident when she was a teenager and seeing domestic violence as a young girl. But now that she’s headed for Vegas, she will literally be facing the music.
 
"This is a dream for any recording artist," Shania said in a press conference in Nashville Wednesday. "This is more than an opportunity, it's an exceptional gift."
 
The pre-sale tickets have begun for Shania fans! American Express cardholders started last night (June 8) right after the CMT Awards broadcast.
 
Shania has been busy planning her new concert series, and she also has her first new single in six years premiering Sunday night (June 12) after the series finale of Why Not? With Shania Twain beginning at 10:00 PM ET/PT on OWN.
 
The episode is titled ‘Endless Love’ and will Shania as she records a duet with Lionel Richie of the song. As well as never-before-seen footage of her wedding to Frédéric Thiébaud in the Bahamas that occurred at the beginning of 2011.
