SHERYL CROW - ARMSTRONG HELPS CROW TAKE STEP BACK FROM CAREER

Rocker SHERYL CROW credits her cyclist fiance LANCE ARMSTRONG with helping her take perspective of her career.

The EVERYDAY IS A WINDING ROAD star welcomes Armstrong's calming influence, and hopes he can help her find a better balance between her life and her work.

She says, "I used to hang on to my career like a lifeboat, like I'm nobody without it.

"But I've got to a place where I cannot have my career as the be-all and end-all. I need to find out if I have something to give besides my work."
