  • Story Text: American singer Sheryl Crow had a tour of duty in Bosnia this week (March 25), entertaining United States troops who are on their tour in the former Balkans.
    Crow and was part of U.S. first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's road show to Bosnia, which also included Clinton's daughter Chelsea and the comedian Sinbad.
    The singer arrived in Tuzla on a C-17 Air Force cargo jet, loaded with mail and movies for U.S. troops involved in NATO peacekeeping operations.
    She travelled to four camps around Tuzla in northern Bosnia on Monday, singing hits like "All I Wanna Do" which won her a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal last year and "I Can't Cry Anymore".
    Crow burst onto the music scene in 1994, clinching her place when she was also voted Best New Artist and Record of the Year at last year's Grammys.
    Crow, who grew up in Missouri, wrote "All I Wanna Do" about life in Los Angeles. The song is from her debut album "Fast Track to Nowhere".
    The singer had some high-ranking back-up singers when she held a concert at Tuzla airbase when Mrs Clinton and Chelsea joined her onstage.
    Tuzla is the headquarters of the 20,000-strong U.S. force in Bosnia. The force is implementing the military part of the Dayton peace agreement, signed last December, which brought an end to four years of war in the Balkans.
