At 72 years old, Cher isn’t just maintaining her legendary status—she’s thriving. With a voice that continues to astonish, Cher beams with confidence about her abilities. “I have unbelievable pipes. My doctor says I’m a freak,” she told fans recently. Her new album, Dancing Queen, released on Sept. 28, showcases her vocal prowess. Even Barbra Streisand, a fellow powerhouse in the music world, is impressed by Cher's audacity and determination.
In a candid moment, Cher shared a conversation with Barbra Streisand during an interview with The New York Times. “I was talking to Barbra one day,” Cher revealed. “She asked, ‘Why do you still sing?’ I said, ‘Because there’s going to come a day when I can’t. No one will want to come see me.’” Cher’s response reflects a deep understanding of her career’s trajectory and her desire to make the most of every opportunity while she can.
A Life of Reinvention
It's hard to imagine Cher stepping away from the spotlight, given her remarkable history of reinvention and countless comebacks. Her journey will be celebrated in The Cher Show, a Broadway musical premiering this December. In the production, Cher is portrayed by three actresses of different ages, symbolizing the various stages of her illustrious career.

This creative choice perfectly encapsulates Cher's multifaceted life. “It’s a great idea because I’ve lived so long that I really have been distinct personalities,” Cher, who is co-producing the show, has said of the project. Her career has been shaped by many influences, including her early years with Sonny Bono, her first husband. Cher met Sonny in her mid-teens, and their partnership laid the foundation for her early success. However, after their 1975 divorce, Cher emerged as a new woman, ready to carve her own path.
Independence and Growth
Cher recalls her newfound independence after her divorce from Sonny Bono as a pivotal moment in her life. “When I left him, I was real happy,” she remembered. However, this independence came with its own set of challenges. “But I started to make huge mistakes in front of everyone because I was still 16 inside. I hadn’t grown,” she admitted. Despite these missteps, Cher's resilience and determination have always shone through.
Her career has been marked by many triumphs, including her Oscar win for the 1987 film Moonstruck. Recently, she was honored as a Kennedy Center Honor recipient, an accolade that couldn’t have come at a better time. Cher will accept the award on Dec. 2, the night before her musical premieres on Broadway, adding another layer of significance to this momentous occasion.
Perseverance and Passion
Cher's career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but her ability to adapt and overcome challenges is what makes her so remarkable. “Sometimes you’re great, and sometimes you’re pathetic,” Cher admitted, reflecting on her journey. “I feel like a bumper car,” she once told Vanity Fair. “If I hit a wall, I’m backing up and going in another direction. And I’ve hit plenty of walls in my career. But I’m not stopping. I think maybe that’s my best quality: I just don’t stop.”
