After more than two decades in the music industry, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, 60, says she's 'still going' despite the hardships she's endured.
"I think it took the MeToo movement for me to able to say: 'This happened to me,'" Crow said.
She recalled an unnamed high-profile entertainment lawyer telling her that"some people would consider themselves lucky to find themselves in this position" in regards to the harassment she said she faced from DiLeo, who died in 2011. "I think my way out was through music and expression," she said."The only way my soul had air to breathe was to find the chords."
In 1993, Crow says she"acted out" a poem named"Fun" by Wyn Cooper in a song, which eventually became her breakout hit. Crow's debut album,"Tuesday Night Music Club," went on to win three Grammy awards, but some of those who collaborated on the record "To get blamed for things along the way, that was hard," she told Mason."I was different after the first record," she said.
But the pressures associated with being a celebrity and keeping up with a career in music began to negatively impact Crow's mental health. She considered checking into a hospital but said she"just didn't want it publicized." The entertainer ended up quietly going to the Mount Sinai hospital in New York City.
