Shania pens her autobiography

Shania Twain has confirmed that her autobiography will be released through Atria Books in the spring of 2011. In an official statement about the book, the singer says that after an emotional few years she was compelled to tell her story. "There have been moments in my life I was concerned by the reality that tomorrow would never come. Recently I experienced one of those moments to an intensity that brought on a sudden urgency to document my life before I ran out of time, before I had the opportunity to share an honest and complete account of my life, in my own words," she says. Twain has been relatively quiet musically in recent years but made headlines for her split with producer Mutt Lange. She has since started a new romance with Frédéric Thiébaud, the ex-husband of Lange's mistress.
