SHANIA TWAIN
THE Canadian country singer, 59, burst onto the scene in the 90s and quickly became one of music's most successful artists.
Her third studio album, Come On Over, released in 1997, is the biggest-selling album by a female solo artist and seventh all time by any musician.
However, she took an extended break after 2004 when she revealed she'd battled Lyme Disease - a tick-borne illness she believes she got after being bitten while horseback riding.

She eventually returned with a new single in 2011 and has since put out another two albums - joining Madonna as the only performer to boast top ten efforts in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
DRAKE
THE superstar rapper, 38, has broken countless records with 13 number one albums and the most downloads ever.

Whether it's number one singles and albums or winning Oscar's and Grammy's, she's dominated the entire industry on route to becoming the best-selling female artist of the 21st century in the UK.
But it's not all been smooth sailing - as she was forced to cancel two tours in 2011 because of a vocal-cord hemorrhage.
The Hello singer underwent surgery for the career threatening issue and eventually returned the following year and has gone from strength to strength since.

SHAWN MENDES
THE pop star, 26, shocked fans in 2022 when he cancelled his tour to focus on his own wellbeing.

He took a two year hiatus to look after his mental health as his supporters questioned when he'd return.
The answer came when he bounced back in March 2024 and looked like he'd never been away.
He released a new album later that year and even put out a concert film to celebrate his comeback.

Lewis announced he would be heading out on tour again earlier this week back again Lewis Capaldi makes second concert comeback in a week joining chart-topping star as surprise guest Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEWIS Capaldi made his second concert comeback in a week tonight as he joined a chart-topping star on stage as a special guest. The Someone You Loved singer played a surprise set at Glastonbury last weekend, his first gig in two years. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Lewis returned to the stage for the first time for a surprise set at Glastonbury last weekend Credit: AFP 3 He joined Noah Kahan on stage at BST Hyde Park Festival on Friday night Credit: Getty Lewis, 28, had taken a break from his music career in 2023 to focus on his health, and was delighted and emotional in equal measure as he received a huge welcome from the Worthy Farm crowd. Following the gig - which saw him perform new track Survive - Lewis confirmed he is hitting the road on a brand new tour in September. But before that, he delighted fans on Friday night when he took to the stage at BST Hyde Park Festival alongside headliner Noah Kahan. American singer Noah, 28, put on a cracking show for the crowd before bringing Lewis on for the encore. The pair then performed Noah's hit 2022 single, Northern Attitude, together. The appearance comes after Lewis spoke out about his Glastonbury performance, which came two years after his final performance at the festival before stepping away from the spotlight. In a heart-warming video posted on his social media, he revealed his true feelings surrounding the burn-out. Speaking from the heart, he told fans: "One word to describe how I'm feeling now is... spectacular." Looking back over his Glastonbury experience in 2023, he admitted: "This should be like, a really happy moment, and it isn't. "I'm like, achieving my dream here. If there was a film about being a singer, and starting as a kid, and they'd be like, Oh, I'd love to be a singer one day and perform in front people, I've done it. Lewis Capaldi breaks silence on emotional Glastonbury return after taking a break from music "I've got to the end of the film and it's not how I thought it was going to be. "And all these people are singing at me and I feel 1,000 miles away there, and I watch it back and actually feel sad. "Second song in, I was probably just thinking, this has to be it, like... I can't keep doing this to myself. "As far as I was concerned, it was like, I'm done. I didn't take a break to just focus on getting better. "I took a break because I needed a break and to sort of release the pressure valve a little bit." Thank you so much for still being here." Lewis Capaldi Within the montage, Lewis added pictures and home-filmed clips of himself performing as a youngster, full of hopes and dreams. He captioned the tear-jerking montage: "Been mad looking back at it all. Thank you so much for still being here."

EastEnders icon Danny Dyer spotted with Two Doors Down star at first night of Oasis reunion tour
One detail in the snap caught fans' eyes GRADO-ASIS EastEnders icon Danny Dyer spotted with Two Doors Down star at first night of Oasis reunion tour Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS hardman Danny Dyer was tonight spotted with a Two Doors Down favourite at the first Oasis comeback gig. The former Mick Carter actor, 47, stopped for a selfie with Graeme 'Grado' Stevely tonight before the Gallagher brothers reunited on stage for the first time in 16 years. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 The Oasis Live '25 tour has officially kicked off at Principality Stadium in Cardiff Credit: Getty 3 Danny Dyer was spotted hanging out with Grado before the Gallagher brothers reunited on stage 3 The Scots actor-turned-wrestler also snapped a selfie with TV and radio presenter Johnny Vaughan The unlikely pair were among a 74,500-strong crowd at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Grado, 37, who played Alan in the BBC sitcom, took to Instagram to share the snap on his story. The Scots-actor-turned-wrestler flashed a huge grin as he posed with Dyer, who looked effortlessly cool in shades and a navy overshirt. But eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted that the Football Factory star was casually holding a vape in his hand. Grado playfully captioned the snap: "DD knows the drill," even circling the electronic cigarette for good measure. The Two Doors Down fave's pre-gig Instagram spree also included another selfie with legendary TV and radio presenter Johnny Vaughan. The Oasis Live '25 tour has officially kicked off with two nights in Cardiff with the '90s Britpop legends then heading to play a whole host of sold-out dates across the UK. Roughly 210,000 gig-goers are expected to descend upon Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium when they perform on August 8,9 and 12. We told previously how a leaked report showed council chiefs branded fans of the Mancunian rockers 'fat', 'lairy' and 'drunk'. Snooty Edinburgh council officials also said punters at the August's shows will be mainly 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room'. The secret planning briefings warn: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend. Oasis kick off historic reunion tour as Noel & Liam reunite for first show in Cardiff 'There is concern about crowds . . . as they are already rowdy . . . and the tone of the band.' Meanwhile, prices for accommodation are sky-high, with some city-centre hotels charging upwards of £800 a night over the period Oasis is in Edinburgh.
