Shania Twain Forced To Cancel Dates On Her Last Tour

Shania Twain has been forced to cancel a few of the tour dates on the "Shania Rock This Country" tour, which is her last tour ever.

The 50-year-old legendary country singer made the announcement on her Facebook page, explaining that two of the dates have been cancelled due to health concerns.

"Tour dates at the Verizon Wireless Arena on October 6th in Manchester, NH and the Times Union Center on October 7th in Albany, NY have been cancelled due to illness," the post reads. "Shania Twain's doctors have advised her to rest for several days after she was diagnosed with a respiratory infection."

The post went on to explain that unfortunately, due to the current schedule of the tour, these dates will not be rescheduled, but all tickets will be refunded. As of now, the tour will resume in Quebec City on Oct. 9, and "Shania Twain apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause her fans and greatly appreciates their understanding."

Twain announced the 48-city North America tour back in March, and fans were extremely excited to see her perform again as this would be her first tour in 11 years. She also told Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" at the time that it was going to be her last tour ever. "This is my last tour," she said. "I'm going to make the most of it. Let's put it that way...I just really want to go out with a bang."

As for why she decided to make this her last tour, she has a lot of other things going on. "I feel like there are so many other things to do musically, and there is just not enough time to do everything," Twain told Rolling Stone Country in June. "I want to write more music. I'd like to spend a lot more time doing that. I'd like to make more records. I want to write for other people. I'd like to write more books. I've got a teenage son. I've just got a whole decade in front of me that is full already, before it even gets started."
