Sheryl Crow: The E! True Hollywood Story

"SHERYL CROW: THE E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY" PREMIERES FRIDAY, JANUARY 23 AT 9PM ET/PT ON E!

Childhood Friends, Industry Colleagues and Music Journalists Join E! To Uncover the Real Story Behind the Singer's Climb to the Top

Sheryl Crow has produced many catchy chart-topping hits like "All I Wanna Do" and "Soak up the Sun," but her path to super-stardom has been anything but smooth. Still, through her perseverance and indomitable spirit, this leading lady of rock and nine-time Grammy award winner has inspired a new generation of female artists with her signature blend of country rock and pop. "THS: Sheryl Crow" chronicles Crow's amazing journey from small town backup singer to respected rocker, taking a very personal look at the woman whose strength comes from the many hardships that life has dealt her. This one-hour episode goes inside Crow's brave victory over breast cancer and highly-publicized split with super-cyclist Lance Armstrong, as well as her high-profile relationship with actor Owen Wilson. Plus, THS reveals the lesser-known stories of Sheryl's early struggles in the industry.

Featured are interviews with numerous childhood friends, industry colleagues, and leading music journalists who chart Crow's music history - from the pains of early rejection to her whirlwind tour as a backup singer for pop legend Michael Jackson and collaborations with several other high-profile musical partners. The show details how Sheryl's first album was shelved by the record company and what caused a rift to surface between Crow and her collaborators after the runaway success of her second album, "The Tuesday Night Music Club." "THS: Sheryl Crow" reveals the depth and grace with which the singer songwriter has overcome adversity and highlights the many joys she's experienced along the way, including motherhood. "Sheryl Crow: The E! True Hollywood Story" premieres Friday, January 23 at 9pm ET/PT on E!
