Long before she became a Grammy Award-winning singer, Sheryl Crow worked with Michael Jackson back in the ’80s. Per the New York Post, during Jackson’s “Bad” tour in the late 1980s, Crow served as a backup performer for the King of Pop. Famously, during the tour, Crow joined Jackson on stage for a duet of his 1987 track “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” Crow did not just work with Jackson, however, they became friends at some point during the tour.
In “Sheryl” a 2022 documentary chronicling her life, Crow commented on the pop singer’s child sexual abuse allegations, while also recalling her time with him offstage. “I was pretty naive, but I still thought it was weird that there were a couple of little boys on the tour with him,” Crow admitted, per the New York Post. “Now knowing what is alleged, it makes me sad for the life he had. Obviously, it makes us all sad for the children. It’s just devastating to even think about.”

But despite what might have gone down on that tour, Crow remains grateful for the experience. “It was incredible in every way, shape, and form for a young person from a really small town to see the world and to work with arguably the greatest pop star,” she told The Independent.
