Sheryl Crow Diagnosed With Benign Brain Tumor 6 Years After Breast Cancer
Singer Sheryl Crow has announced that she has a benign brain tumor, 6 years after battling breast cancer. The singer-songwriter recently told an audience about her tumor at a concert. According to her representative Christine Wolff, the tumor is said to be very common and there is nothing to be too alarmed about.
