Sheryl Crow's biggest hit was "All I Wanna Do". And that's exactly what the 57-year-olds seem to find easier in old age than in younger years. "As you get older, you've really learned something," said the US rock singer. This included insights, hard setbacks. "And then you know how to live with gratitude and joy."
And setbacks, Crow had some. The engagement with racing cyclist Lance Armstrong broke, shortly after she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. But the 2006 diagnosed illness has defeated them. "You do not get excited about the little things," Crow said. "I am extremely grateful that I can still do what I do, that I am well, that I enjoy myself and I feel more youthful than ever, so life is good."

Sheryl Crows comeback: Rock and setbacksWith her new album "Threads", which will be released on Friday, the singer starts again. "Just because you're getting older does not mean that you can not have fun," she said. In general, the single mother of two guys now sees many things as more relaxed. "You do not get excited about the little things then."
Duet with Johnny Cash
There are many celebrity guest stars on the record, including Eric Clapton, Sting and 80-year-old blues and soul icon Mavis Staples. There is even a duet with country star Johnny Cash, who died in 2003 - a piece that can be understood as criticizing US President Donald Trump.
Because despite all serenity, there are certainly things that can upset the musician: "I take it personally that our current government is absolutely not concerned about the impact of their actions on the next generation."
