Breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow has another health fight on her hands. But thankfully, this one is much less dangerous. Crow has revealed she has a benign brain tumor. “I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI.” Crow added, “And I found out I have a brain tumor. And I was like, ‘See? I knew there was something wrong.’”
On Wednesday (May 4) night’s American Idol, James Durbin performed like a seasoned musician once again. Not only did he impress the hell out of the judges during his performance of Closer to the Edge by 30 Seconds to Mars, he also had this week’s guest mentor, Sheryl Crow, swooning over him: “I got to sing with James, I can officially retire now!” WOAH, now, THAT’S a compliment.
Here is what the judges said:
Steven Tyler: “James man, I think you kicked that song’s ass. You know, the way you work that audience, you are ready for Freddie I think.”

Jennifer Lopez: “We talked about who’s gonna come out here and grab it, you’ve been showing us that you want it. And I know America is feeling it. We are feeling it right here. Grab it. Take it. It’s yours to take James.”
Randy Jackson: “Now you’re showing us what kind of artist you are. James is in it to win it America. This guy wants it. He wants it Ryan! He wants it!”
. Also present, Sheryl’s personal chef and book co-author, Chuck White, affectionately known as “Chef Chuck.” The duo had met while Sheryl was battling breast cancer, which for her, was a wake-up call to eat more healthily. Since then, Chuck has taught Sheryl how to do just that by cooking foods that are seasonal, locally grown, and vitamin-rich to keep her on top of her game and always ready to perform. The duo’s cookbook offers a full menu of approximately 125 recipes.
Way to go Sheryl Crow!
Yesterday marked the grand opening of The Sheryl Crow Imaging Center in Los Angeles, CA, which is “a state of the art breast imaging center featuring the latest advancements in digital screening and diagnostic imaging technologies,” according to a press release.
Crow, a breast-cancer survivor herself, said: “Joining forces with the Pink Lotus Breast Center has provided me with a wonderful platform to create awareness and encourage the millions of American women over 40 to get their annual mammograms. Detecting breast cancer early is a woman’s best chance at survival, and digital full-field mammography is the gold standard of early detection.”
My two-cents worth: I personally know three beautiful women who are all battling breast cancer at this moment. A center like this is truly welcomed and Cheryl Crow deserves all of our gratitude for stepping up to help others after experiencing a personal tragedy herself.
