Sheryl Crow living with brain tumour since November

'All I Wanna Do' star Sheryl Crow has revealed she has been living with a brain tumour since November 2011.

The singer, who scored a string of hits in the 1990s, spoke for the first time in a new interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, revealing her struggle with the tumour.

"I haven't really talked about it," she said in the interview. "In November, I found out I have a brain tumor. But it's benign, so I don't have to worry about it. But it gives me a fit."

She revealed that the growth was discovered when she underwent hospital tests to discover the reason behind her memory loss.

"I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). And I found out I have a brain tumor," she added. "And I was like, 'See? I knew there was something wrong."

Crow successfully battled breast cancer in 2006, recovering from the illness in the same year.
