Sheryl CrowSheryl Crow is determined that she won’t let breast cancer stop her living her life and playing music.

Sheryl only finished treatment six weeks ago but is set to begin a US tour later this month.

She revealed recently: “There’s been a huge shift in my consciousness about what life holds. I wanted to get back to the things that represent reality to me.”

“One of those things is definitely playing music and going out and connecting with the fans that have been amazingly supportive.”

“I’m always on the go, and for all of a sudden my life to be halted by a life-threatening illness really caught my attention.”

The scare has given her new perspective on her old songs too: “A song as simple as ‘Home’ really grabs my heart because of the way people showed up for me during my illness.”

“It wasn’t just family and friends but people all over the world sending cards, prayers and love. It was a powerful experience for me.”
