Legendary singer Sheryl Crow wrote many songs about love, but she’s never been married.
The 60-year-old “All I Wanna Do” singer discussed how she felt relief over never making a permanent commitment to any man, despite getting close to walking down the aisle several times.
“I’m hot. Even at 60, I’m hot, right?” the mother of two said on a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show.” She was making the appearance as part of a promotional tour for her new documentary, “Sheryl.”
“Honestly, I even scratch my head and go, ‘How did I get here without getting married?’ … I almost did, three times,” Crow continued. She didn’t elaborate on who she got close with, but fans will remember she had serious relationships with Eric Clapton, Owen Wilson, and Lance Armstrong, among others.
“I go, ‘Thank God, thank you God. Thank you. I didn’t get married,’” she told Stern.
“I got breast cancer at the end of one relationship, and it was horrible. But when I came through it, I was like, ‘You know what? I’d still be in that relationship had I not had breast cancer.’ So in a weird way, I’m grateful. And you think you’re gonna be like, ‘Oh, F that guy,’ or whatever, but by the time you get to that point you’ve moved on, and you don’t really care anymore.”
Crow promises to explore her love life deeper as part of the documentary “Sheryl,” which began streaming on Showtime Friday.
During an interview with Good Morning America, the single mom discussed why she was willing to do the documentary now.
“Well, I just thought documentaries are … when I was growing up, they were about people who were already dead. And so I was like, ‘Do I really want to do it now? I feel like I’ve still got a lot of living years,’” she said.
“But, I have a really, really long career by today’s standards and a lot has changed, as we know. It was a necessary thing to do to tell that story … of 34 years of touring and playing and having a life.”
The musician admitted she’s usually more “private” but was willing to open up and tell her true story.
“I’ve just always been really private,” she told GMA. “And I think being my age now, it feels a little bit like a privilege and honor to be able to sit down and say, ‘People who are very visible and who are doing high-profile work, they’re still people at the end of the day.’”
