Music icon Cher has crammed more into one lifetime than most people would struggle to fit into a generation. But at the golden age of 78, the multi-award winning star is turning back the pages of her life in her new memoir to reveal all about her struggles to become a global star and how she is now happier than ever as she approaches her milestone 80th year.
And with a career spanning music, TV, and film, it is no surprise her life story - written by the icon herself - is being split in two so fans can take their time getting to grips with her rich, ever evolving life story. The latest instalment came last night when Cher was forced to flee her home because of Californian wildfires.
The music mega-star, who is on a global tour to promote her new book, Cher: The Memoir Part One, gushes: "Oh this is just part one. The second part will be released in time for next Christmas. I guess it could make a good movie too, like an eight or nine parter. That is true.".
Cher's book chronicles her rise to stardom and the challenges she faced as part of the double act, Sonny and Cher with her late workaholic partner Sonny Bono. The American pop and entertainment duo began their career in the mid 1960s as R&B backing singers for record producer Phil Spector and hit the big time in 1965 when their hit I Got You Babe spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US as well as topping the charts here and in Canada.
