She says in a preview clip of contracting Lyme disease in 2003 before having the surgeries, “It was devastating… I felt I had no other choice but to just accept it — in that I would never sing again.

“I was mourning the expression of my voice.”

Twain adds of her recovery, “I’m never going to have my old voice again. I’m okay with that. I’ve found a new voice and I like it.”

She adds that she finds her gravelly tone “kinda sexy.”
