American
singer Sheryl Crow has revealed she has a brain tumour. She who has
survived breast cancer, has a common form of brain tumour called a meningioma, her rep confirmed
to E! News. The 50-year-old's tumour is benign.
The singer told Las
Vegas Review-Journal columnist Doug Elfman: "I worried about my memory so
much that I went and got an MRI. And I found out I have a brain tumor.
"And I was, like,
'See? I knew there was something wrong.'"
Sheryl Crow continued:
"I haven't really talked about it. In November, I found out I have a brain
tumour. But it's benign, so I don't have to worry about it. But it gives me a
fit.
She went on to joke
about the times she's forgotten the lyrics to her own songs.
Sheryl Crow made
headlines in May when she forgot words to 'Soak Up The Sun' at a show in
Florida.
On stage she joked:
"I'm 50. What can I say!"
The 'Soak Up the Sun'
singer's rep added to E! News: "Half of us are walking around with
[meningioma] but you don't really know unless you happen to have an MRI.
"[Crow] has no
symptoms and everything is fine. It was a random mention during the [Vegas]
interview. It was not meant to alarm anyone. She is doing great and is healthy
and happy."
Sheryl Crow was
previously diagnosed with breast cancer, and in April it was announced she will
receive the Women's Cancer Research Fund's 2012 Courage Award for her charity
work
