Sheryl Crow is talking about the upcoming Showtime documentary on her life.

Crow says she was hesitant to participate in Showtime’s “Sheryl,” but believed it was “necessary” to tell the story behind her songwriting.

The musician explained, “Well, I just thought documentaries are – when I was growing up they were about people who were already dead. And so I was like, ‘Do I really want to do it now? I feel like I’ve still got a lot of living years.'”

She went on to say she decided now was the time to tell her story because she’s spent the last years being “really private.”

She said, “I’ve just always been really private. And I think being my age now, it feels a little bit like a privilege and honor to be able to sit down and say, ‘People who are very visible and who are doing high-profile work, they’re still people at the end of the day.'”

Do you think celebrities are just “normal people?”
