NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- When Shania Twain showed up for last week's Country Music Association awards show in Nashville, husband Mutt Lange wasn't along to escort the popular Canadian hitmaker. Chances are that her husband-producer-songwriting partner won't be holding hands with Twain at other public functions either.
"He never comes with me," Twain tells Country Weekly magazine. "I don't think he ever will, and I totally understand where he comes from. He's a very humble guy and basically doesn't want to be a star. He just wants to be a person who makes the music." Lange has made music for Def Leppard and Bryan Adams, and he was behind Twain's multiplatinum The Woman in Me, which produced four No. 1 singles, including Any Man of Mine.
