Shania Twain announces final Rock This Country tour dates

Shania Twain has announced her final tour with 48 dates across the US and Canada.

The Canadian singer will kick off her final tour in June.

Shania Twain, whose 1997 album Come On Over remains the best-selling country album ever, said on ABC’s Good Morning America: “This is my last tour, so I’m going to make the most of it.

“I want to go out with a bang.”

The Rock This Country tour will be Shania Twain’s first tour in more than 10 years, and follows a two-year residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

“I feel that Las Vegas, the show, was a huge mountain to climb for me,” Shania Twain – who turns 50 later this year – said.

“I not only got through it, but I enjoyed it.”

Shania Twain became a massive star in the mid-1990s, with hits such as Man! I Feel Like A Woman and That Don’t Impress Me Much.

She sold more than 75 million albums worldwide and became the best-selling female artist in the history of country music, but largely disappeared from the limelight between 2004 and 2009, citing personal issues and creative inertia.

Shania Twain returned to live performing in 2011.

The new tour will begin in Seattle, before heading north to Canada, then returning to the US for dates across the country – including New York, Washington and Miami.

The “custom-made” tour will conclude in Fresno, California, days ahead of the singer’s birthday in August.

Shania Twain also announced that she is currently “working on new music” to be released after the tour.
