Finally, truth in advertising.
Cher's Farewell Tour started last year, and runs well into next.
Nothing wrong with that: I like Cher, and I hope she continues her Farewell Tour for decades, until they have to wheel her out to sing.
It'll still be sold out.
I can listen to the original crummy AM radio version of "I Got You Babe" all day without ever getting tired of it.
Bonus: The Village People are her opening act.
If you wanna catch a show on the current leg of her never-ending story/tour, check out Cher.com, her trippy website.
Better not inhale while you're at work, though.

Actually, Cher's farewell tour began in June 2002.
It just takes some people a long time to say goodbye I guess.

Cher is one of the several stereotypes of my community that I confess to proudly. The woman is a great actress, I love her music, and she is a performer. Her music on the radio which most people hear, does not even equate to seeing one of her shows. She is like a Las Vegas act. I hope she never retires. Me and my daughter sing I got you babe to each other almost everyday.

Thank you Joe for highlighting an icon and an institution. I could listen to "I've Got you Babe" all day long...lol..
Many people don't like her, many people think she is a product of marketing. She is an actor, a singer, a performer, and an entertainer worth whatever the ticket price. I would not have ever missed her "farewell" tour...although I can relive her through her many cd's which bring back memories over 20 years (for me), and more for others....

If you haven't seen Cher on this tour yet, don't miss your chance!
One of the great things about Cher is her ability to have and maintain such a wide ranging fan base. At her concerts you will see everyone from Little five year old girls to their 80 plus year old grandparents and everyone in between! Most of her upcoming shows are sold out, but if you get the chance to get to one please do!

At long last, it just might be over for good. Click on "Pildorr" for a chronology of her "long goodbye".
