The singer writes about her heartache.
Superstar singer SHANIA TWAIN, who is going through a divorce from her husband of 14 years, music producer ROBERT "MUTT" LANGE, has posted a statement on her Web site, explaining what she is going through and thanking fans for their support.
The statement reads:
"To my beloved fans:
"As I am sure you have seen or heard; I am going through a rough time personally in my life. I wanted you all to know that I could not be getting through this without you. Your letters, emails and words of encouragement give me strength. Your overwhelming support reminds me to smile, no matter how deep the pain and to always be grateful for all the beautiful blessings in my life.
"I have so much to say but I know the best way for me to speak is through my music. This is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I look forward to sharing it with all of you as I begin this new journey.
"I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever.
"Thank you my friends, from the bottom of my heart.
"Love,
Shania"
The news broke earlier this month that Twain and Lange would be going their separate ways.
