Sheryl Crow talks Michael Jackson, Lance Armstrong and #MeToo: new doc
06.05.2022 - 03:03 / nypost.com
Showtime documentary, “Sheryl,” she chronicles the highs and lows of becoming one of the world’s top-selling female musicians. And although Crow never spectacularly crashed to rock bottom like some rockers have, she illuminates how tenuous mental health can become in the harsh light of fame, and what it was like to be an ambitious woman in music in the decades before the MeToo movement.
Below, some of the most compelling aspects of the documentary, directed by Amy Scott (“Hal”), out May 6.Crow, a Missouri native, took a job teaching grade school music after she graduated from the University of Missouri, and sang in cover bands at night. Through a musician friend, she eventually got a gig singing in a McDonald’s commercial, which she says paid more than her first two years of teaching — and convinced her to move out to LA to chase her dreams.One of Crow’s first music industry jobs was as a backup performer on Michael Jackson’s “Bad” tour in the late 1980s, during which she would duet with Jackson on the song “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” She became somewhat friendly with Jackson, and he invited her to his hotel room to watch old movies.
Jackson would have Bubbles the chimp with him, she says: “It was crazy.” Photos of the two onstage were used in the press with headlines suggesting they were an item — which they never were. “I was pretty naive, but I still thought it was so weird that Michael had a couple little boys with him on the road at different times,” she says.
“Now knowing what is alleged, it makes me sad for the life he had. Obviously, it makes us all sad for the children.
