Cher: ‘This farewell tour is my honest to God last’
By Nick Levine
Cher has insisted that her current tour will be her “honest to God last”.
The Grande Dame of gay icons played her first show on ‘Living Proof: the Farewell Tour’ in June 2002 – and didn’t wrap up the 325-date global trek until August 2005.
She later played 192 shows during a residency at The Colisseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas between 2008 and 2011, before hitting the road again earlier this year on what she has named the ‘Dressed to Kill Tour’.
The tour began this March – and is currently scheduled to run until November, with a total of 74 dates on the itinerary, all in North America.
In a tweet posted earlier today (July 9), Cher, who recently turned 68, appears to rule out embarking on another tour in the future.
Though Cher has yet to add any European dates to the ‘Dressed to Kill Tour’, fans should console themselves with the knowledge that ‘Living Proof: the Farewell Tour’ didn’t arrive in Europe until May 2004 – nearly two years after it kicked off in North America.
