Crow comes out in support of Jolie

Sheryl Crow has pledged her support to Angelina Jolie following her double mastectomy.

The country singer - who beat breast cancer in 2006 - has praised Angelina for speaking openly about her decision to undergo the operation after she was found to be carrying the BRCA1 cancer gene, which gives her an 87% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer.
