United States - Celebritysphere Cheryl Sarkisian (Cher): "The Goddess of Pop"

[Adanna]

Cher is turning back time, but this time, she’s doing it in hot pink and purple vinyl. For the first time ever, Live! The Farewell Tour, her dazzling 2003 live album, will strut onto streaming platforms and get a luxe 2LP vinyl release on September 25, 2025, courtesy of Warner Records.


And Cher being Cher, she’s not just reissuing the same old setlist, the updated 21-track version includes three never-before-released live gems: Save Up All Your Tears, We All Sleep Alone, and Different Kind of Love Song.


The original album, recorded during her glitter-bombed, sequin-soaked global trek from 2002–2005, peaked at No. 79 on the UK’s Official Albums Chart. But with vinyl collectors foaming at the mouth for those swirled pink-and-purple discs, this comeback release might just climb higher.


This news lands amid bittersweet buzz, Cher has teased that her next album will “probably” be her last. If true, she’ll close out a record-breaking career that most recently saw her Christmas album hit No. 5 in 2023 and made her the oldest solo female artist ever to score a Top 40 hit, at 77 years and seven months young. Oh, and she’s also the only solo act to have Top 40 hits in seven consecutive decades.


As for The Farewell Tour itself, it was pure Cher theater: 325 shows, five continents, countless wigs, and enough Bob Mackie sparkle to power Las Vegas for a decade.


On September 25, fans everywhere will finally be able to relive the rhinestones, the sass, and the high notes, whether they’re streaming from their phones or dropping the needle on hot pink vinyl.


Because in Cher’s world, “farewell” has never meant “goodbye”… just “wait ‘til you see the next outfit.”

Cher, the goddess of pop. The woman whose career has lasted longer than some marriages in Hollywood has been the subject of a thousand whispers: What’s she had done? How does she still look like that? Is she immortal? And while plenty of stars will dodge or deny until the day they retire to Malibu, Cher has never been afraid to admit to a nip here or a tuck there. But oh, don’t get too comfortable, she’s also very clear on what she’s not confessing to.





Now, let’s be clear. We’re not here to join the table of armchair surgeons. No, no. We’re here to talk about the facts, the procedures Cher herself has openly discussed, because the rest? Well, that’s between her, her mirror, and maybe a very discreet Beverly Hills doctor.





The Nose Job:





Long before filters and Facetune could save the day, Cher decided to give her nose a little Hollywood polish. Rhinoplasty, darling. A choice she’s openly acknowledged,


not because she had breathing issues, not because she tripped over a rug and landed on it (though imagine that story), but because she wanted a shape that flattered her face. One of her earliest forays into cosmetic work, and one that probably set the stage for the speculation that would follow her for decades.





The Breast Augmentation:


Oh, and here’s where the plot thickens. In the very same breath as her nose job confession, Cher spilled about her breast surgery. But unlike the fairy-tale “I loved it immediately” stories you sometimes hear, this one was messier. She didn’t exactly have the best time post-op, complications, dissatisfaction, the whole “wish I’d thought this through” saga. And if you’re expecting her to spill every last detail on whether it was implants, a lift, or some combo platter… keep waiting. That tea’s not on the table.





The Facelift:


And then, years later, she confirmed another rumor herself: a facelift. Yes, the magic wand of cosmetic surgery. It’s the kind of procedure that can erase years (and apparently feed a million gossip columns) with one skilled sweep. Cher’s never denied this one — but she’s not handing out a full play-by-play, either. Just enough to confirm the story and keep everyone guessing.





What We Actually Know:


Here’s the thing: for every confirmed tweak Cher’s admitted to, there are ten more rumors floating around, whispers of other facial work, body contouring, fillers, lasers, you name it. But as she herself once said: “You admit to one thing, and then everyone has you doing everything.”And isn’t that the truth?
