Faith Hill returns to stage sooner than expected

Faith Hill , who recently announced plans to end her hiatus from the stage with a multi-night stand in Las Vegas, will now precede the Sin City run with a one-off performance in Canada.

Hill will give her first live performance in four years on Aug. 7 in Whistler, British Columbia. The show is scheduled to take place on an outdoor stage at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort, according to Hill's website. Tickets for the show are on sale now.

Also on sale are tickets to Hill's four-night stand in Vegas, which takes place at The Colisseum. Located at Caesars Palace, the 4,100-seat venue was built for singer Celine Dion, who began a multi-year residence there last year.

Fans can expect to hear Hill perform a number of her hits, including "Breathe," "This Kiss," "Let Me Let Go," "Piece of My Heart," "The Way You Love Me" and "Cry," according to organizers.

Hill has been off the road since completing a lengthy round of touring behind her 1999 release, "Breathe." Her support for that set included a 50-city headlining run, and the co-headlining jaunt with McGraw.

She followed "Breathe" with 2002's "Cry," but did not mount a full tour behind that album.

Hill's sixth studio set is due to surface later this year, but no release date is set.

In addition to her musical pursuits, Hill has also taken up acting.

Last month, she made her big-screen debut in the Paramount Pictures film "The Stepford Wives," which also stars Nicole Kidman and Glenn Close.
