Sheryl Crow Recovering From Breast Cancer Surgery

Everyday Is a Winding Road for Sheryl Crow.

That's because she's the latest music celebrity to be affected by breast cancer. Crow is currently recovering from minimally invasive surgery for breast cancer, that was performed on February 22nd. Her doctors say her prognosis is excellent and should make a full recovery. Her label has stated she will be undergoing radiation treatment as a precaution.

Sheryl Crow has postponed her North American tour that was scheduled for March through April. Details of that announcement are on her website.

The Grammy award winning singer has just turned 44. She was seen signing autographs in Hollywood just one week after surgery.

"I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends," she said in a written statement. "I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year."

There was a Power Benefit recently in Beverly Hills, where Sheryl Crow was the talk of the town. The all star benefit included (among others) Natalie Cole, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Melissa Etheridge, who received the EIF Women's Cancer Research Fund Courage Award. Etheridge is also a breast cancer survivor, who rocked last year's Grammy audience with a clean shaven head. Past recipients of the EIF award include Sir Elton John and Stella McCartney.

Lance Armstrong, who recently split with Crow, overcame testicular cancer years ago and founded Livestrong SurvivorCare.

Crow's most recent album, the Grammy nominated "Wildflower," was inspired by their relationship.
