Sheryl Crow reveals 'incredible' Welsh heritage

American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has described her "incredible" links to Wales, revealing that her mother's side of the family was from the country.

Speaking to Bronwen Lewis on BBC Radio Wales, the nine-time Grammy winner recalled visiting Wales for the first time with her parents in about 1990 while touring as a backing singer for Michael Jackson.

Crow, best known for hits including All I Wanna Do and If It Makes You Happy, said she did not know where exactly in Wales her family came from, but expressed a desire to research her heritage further.

"I need to do one of those DNA things," she said.
