Singer Shania Twain said she had a tough time recovering from her divorce with former husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange after being together for 17 years.
The 51-year-old songstress said it was difficult for her to carry on her career without Mutt by her side, professionally, reports People magazine.
“I didn't know where to begin. I didn't know where to pick up. So, I went back to square one and figured that finding myself alone wasn't such a bad thing, and maybe it was an opportunity to reacquaint myself with independence again, and test that independence and get back in touch with where I started,” Shania said.
The “Forever and for Always” singer said she was “lucky” to have collaborated with her ex-husband as it helped her grow as an artiste.
“I was very lucky in the '90s to have had a collaboration with Mutt Lange, and to develop my art as a songwriter and a recording artist. He gave me all kinds of freedom and respected that – respected my opinions – and I grew in that period,” she added.
