Sheryl Crow is the "quintessential" single mother.
The American singer has adopted sons Wyatt, six, and Levi, three, and isn't currently dating anybody.
The busy star continues to tour and produce music, meaning she is always juggling her career with motherhood.
"I am the quintessential single working mom. All of my decisions are based around what's best for my kids," she assured Parade.
"I'm lucky that right now they're little and pretty malleable when it comes to travel. I get to take them on the tour bus, and I get to tuck them in at night even though I'm tucking them into a bunk. We read stories, and I try to keep things as normal as possible."
Today, Sheryl is playing at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis and she has further US shows coming up in Live Oak and Carlton.
The 51-year-old tries to make her tour bus a home away from home for her little ones.
"We take the things on the road that matter to them, and we try to keep things schedule-wise as normal as possible: naps, meals, and that sort of thing," she revealed.
"But I'm just like every other working mom - I go to sleep at night with them on my mind, and I wake up with them on my mind, and all my decisions are informed by their presence in my life. I think that's what all moms do."
Sheryl has been busy working on her upcoming album, her first since 2010's 100 Miles from Memphis.
The star is looking forward to debuting a new sound.
"It is the first record that is actually going predominantly to country radio, and so far it's been a really wonderful experience. I live in Nashville. I've been here for seven years, and I've been surrounded by the most wonderful country artists and songwriters, and I've experienced a great sense of community down here," she smiled.
"Our kids all go to school together and we got to church together. I feel like [my music] has always been more at home in the country format more than anything else, but to actually release it to country and be surrounded by peers, it's been really fun."
