[BEVIE]

Hi all, Just read this in the paper this morning and thought I'd share.

back to story Sheryl Crow has announced that she is recovering from breast cancer surgery.

News of Crow's cancer battle was broken Friday on her Website and confirmed by her publicist, Dave Tomberlin, who said the 43-year-old singer-songwriter underwent successful "minimally invasive" surgery on Wednesday.

"Her doctors think her prognosis is excellent," Tomberlin said.

The nine-time Grammy winner will now begin precautionary radiation treatment, according to a statement on sherylcrow.com.

"I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year," Crow says on the site, adding the cancer was detected early.

"I am inspired by the brave women who have faced this battle before me and grateful for the support of family and friends."

To allow time for rest and recuperation, Crow has scrapped her North American tour, which was scheduled to kick off next month and run through April. Crow says she hopes to make up the dates as soon as possible.

Everyday in February must seem like a winding road to Crow. The cancer announcement comes exactly three weeks after she made public her split from Lance Armstrong.
