(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sheryl Crow says her tour bus has become a family bus since she became a mother.

The singer has two adopted sons three-year-old Wyatt and Levi, who is almost five months old. Sheryls life has transformed since she opened her home to the two boys and she cant bear to be parted from them. The star is currently showcasing her album 100 Miles from Memphis and says her priority is making sure her sons are comfortable as they accompany her on tour.

"Kids change your life - period. The first thing you think of in the morning and the last thing you think of at night is them, and every decision that you make in between is dictated by their welfare, she explained. "My tour bus now is a family bus. I've got both my kids and everything that they count on to keep their lives normal on there, whereas before my life was much more me-centric."

Sheryl thoroughly enjoys playing live around the world. She believes being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 has made her feel a deeper connection to her fans. The 48-year-old musician admits she avoided making eye contact with her audience before her illness, but she now feels comfortable making her performances more personal.

"Before I was diagnosed, I was very particular about not seeing the audience. I wanted the audience to be pretty dark, so there wasn't the distraction of making eye contact. Now I have to see people, I have to make that connection, Sheryl told New York Daily News. "It's what coming into a room with a bunch of strangers is about, to hear music and be moved. It started to feel much more like a celebration for me." (C) Cover Media
