Sheryl Crow says she would have loved for former fiancé, Lance
Armstrong, to step in and be there with her, but when it comes down to
it, she depended on her family for emotional support. She called the
breakup “devastating” for both of them, and she thinks of Lance
everyday, and she thinks “about his kids every day."
In a Good Morning America interview with Diane Sawyer, Crow said she
broke-up with Lance on February 4th and on the 20th
doctors found calcification in both breast using a routine mammogram.
Crow, 44, told Sawyer that "I thought: 'Now, this is just one crummy
joke. It was like, 'Wait a minute, how can this be? No, you've got the
wrong person.' You know. … But yeah, that's the way it happened, you
know."
The doctor told
her to come back in 6 months but another doctor told her not to wait, so
she had an immediate biopsy. The results indicated cancer and the
doctors recommended a lumpectomy.
Sheryl relied on her family to carry her through the ordeal. She told
Sawyer that “it's in those moments when you realize, OK. … This is my
life. Your first instinct is to say, OK, I have to have my family here.
I've got to rely on my doctors, and I have to surround myself with
people who can really carry me through this and who can really be there
emotionally for me, like really just consistently be there
emotionally." She makes it clear that Lance did not “bail” on her.
According to Vanity Fair Magazine, Lance got the news while he was on a
“soul-searching solo road trip from Lake Tahoe to Oregon”. Lance told
Vanity Fair that when he got the call, "I actually turned around to make
the drive to L.A. We talked along the way and she said, 'You know, I
just don't think that's a great idea.'" Crow said "it would be hard on
her in trying to manage a breakup and the diagnosis.” Lance said “I
totally understood."
Crow told Frank DiGiacomo of Vanity Fair, "It was difficult, you know, I
know he wanted to be there. I would have loved for him to have swept in
and carried me through," she says, but she ultimately realized that she
needed to rely on someone else. "When you're in those moments when
you're really clinging to a life buoy, you look around and say, 'Who are
the people that can really stand up for me? Who can really just be there
for me all the way through this—emotionally, unconditionally?' And that
was my family." Vanity Fair hit the newsstands in Los Angeles and New
York yesterday and will be available nationwide July 11th.
She thinks about Lance “every day”. Every so often Crow says she gets a
"phantom itch" when something she sees or reads reminds her of an
experience they shared. When asked about the reason for the breakup,
she told DiGiacomo in an e-mail “It would be easy to say this is all
about my wanting to get married and have kids but it was never that
simple. It was much deeper than that." She added "I will never feel
comfortable talking about the private inner workings of my
relationships. It just makes my life feel compromised."
