NEW YORK -- Sheryl Crow revealed that she has a benign brain tumor, but her rep said it's nothing to be alarmed about.

The 50-year-old told an audience about her condition at a recent concert, but her representative, Christine Wolff, said it's common.

The tumor is a meningioma, and it's typically benign and develops from the protective linings of the brain and spinal cord.

Wolff said Crow is doing great and is healthy and happy.
