Melissa Etheridge Rocks!

Raspy and real, Melissa Etheridge is a woman who rocks. Adored by her fans, this multiplatinum artist has sold more than 25 million records. Melissa was in her prime, joyfully surrounded by her two children and the love of her life, actress Tammy Lynn Michaels.

Then suddenly at age 43, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Melissa says her journey brought her closer to hell than she's ever been. But Melissa proved she is a survivor: Just weeks after undergoing grueling chemotherapy, she emerged truly triumphant. Bald and beautiful, Melissa returned to the spotlight and performed at this year's Grammy Awards ceremony.

Melissa Etheridge "Piece of My Heart"

"It was the performance of "Piece of My Heart" on the 2005 Grammy Awards show that served as notice to the world that Etheridge was indeed ready to embrace the next half of her career. Bald from the chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer that had been diagnosed in 2004, she joyously inhabited the wrenching soul-blues of the song, announcing to the world that she was ready to get going, renewed and recharged."

"...she gave strength to many of those stricken by the disease with a powerful performance of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" at the 47th Annual Grammys, held in February 2005.

Etheridge released Greatest Hits The Road Less Traveled, a compilation of career highlights and new material. It featured a cover of Tom Petty's "Refugee" as well as "Piece of My Heart" and a new song dedicated to breast cancer survivors. "
