On a sunny June 23, Cher made a surprise appearance at a Chicago theater to catch a sneak peek of the Broadway-bound musical inspired by her extraordinary life. Despite her best intentions to stay out of the spotlight, things didn’t quite go according to plan. Let me tell you, this legend just can’t help but draw attention wherever she goes.

“I came in and unfortunately the lights were still up, so I seemed to stand out,” Cher confessed to the Chicago Tribune. But once the initial commotion settled down, Cher said she was thrilled to enjoy a rare night off from performing. “Oh God. I still play this character in my concerts,” joked the 72-year-old powerhouse, who's currently juggling a world tour, recording a new album, starring in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and even dreaming of directing her first feature film.

Cher's Unyielding Drive

Cher has been on a whirlwind journey lately. “I’ve been working like a crazy person,” she admitted. And according to a close friend, quoted in the latest issue of Closer Weekly, Cher’s work ethic is unmatched. “Cher’s a workhorse,” the friend confirmed. “I don’t think she’ll ever truly retire!” Now, that’s music to her fans' ears, especially since Cher insists she’s only getting better with age. “My voice is about 100 times better than ever,” she proudly proclaimed. “My voice is really stronger. It’s not diminishing. That might sound pompous, but it’s true.”

This newfound confidence is energizing her career in ways she never imagined. “I’m always surprised I can get up on stage and run around for 90 minutes, have a great time, and still sing,” she told the Herald Sun. It’s not just her voice that’s improved; her energy seems to be limitless.

Dispelling the Rumors

While Cher had to cancel some performances in 2014 due to a viral infection, tabloid reports claiming she was on death’s door couldn’t be further from the truth. “I was never at death’s door,” she scoffed. “That just sounds better than ‘She’s not feeling well.’” Her friend chimed in, saying, “She’s fine, Cher is in a great place and sharper than ever.”

Cher's Secret to Staying Fit

Cher has always been dedicated to maintaining her health. “I work out all the time, and I’m a healthy eater. I take care of myself,” she promised. Even battling Epstein-Barr virus since 1986 hasn’t slowed her down. “She credits various healing modalities for her good health now,” her friend explained. “Massage, Reiki, acupuncture. She has a personal chef who prepares mostly vegetables and fish, and she has a personal trainer. Cher loves Pilates and yoga, and she even boxes!”

Her fighting spirit has been a constant throughout her life. As a child, she faced a crippling case of dyslexia, but that didn’t stop her. “The only thing I know is not to give up,” Cher said in an NBC interview. This sheer determination has earned her 22 solo Top 40 hits, a Grammy, an Emmy, and an Oscar in 1988 for Moonstruck. Now, she’s looking for her next big role. “She’s definitely searching for other film projects, and she hopes for a serious, dramatic role next,” her friend shared. “She still feels a dream role is coming her way, and she’d love another Oscar!”
