Shania Twain, the renowned country music artist, recently made headlines with her upcoming performance at the Glastonbury festival in the U.K. In a podcast interview with host Nick Grimshaw, Twain shared her one diva demand for the event – a no-smoking room. Despite being described as “very un-diva-ish for an artist of her magnitude,” Twain’s request was seen as quite reasonable.
The 58-year-old singer is set to headline the festival’s iconic Pyramid stage for the “Legends” spot. With a career spanning decades, Twain has achieved remarkable success with her music. Her albums, such as The Woman in Me and Come On Over, have broken records and sold millions of copies worldwide. In fact, Come On Over remains the bestselling album by a female artist in any genre, according to Guinness World Records.
Twain’s journey to success has not been without challenges. In 2003, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease after being bitten by an infected tick. The illness affected her vocal cords, leading to concerns about her ability to sing again. However, after undergoing treatment and an operation, Twain was able to return to making music and even embarked on successful residencies in Las Vegas.
During her podcast interview, Twain also shared a humorous anecdote about a moment when she realized her fame. While at an airport, she noticed people staring at her and began to panic, thinking she needed a bodyguard. It turned out they were simply waiting for her to finish a phone call.
Twain’s resilience and talent have solidified her status as a music legend, and fans eagerly anticipate her performance at Glastonbury. As she takes the stage at the renowned festival, Twain’s diva demand for a no-smoking room serves as a reminder of her down-to-earth nature despite her superstar status.
