CHER may have called her last British jaunt Living Proof, The Farewell Tour in 2004, but guess who is off on her travels next year on her Here We Go Again World Tour?

Yes, the very same Cherilyn Sarkisian, who decided to stop turning back time 14 years ago at the age of 58, when she played Sheffield Arena that May. Now, however, she has now announced five British dates for next autumn, climaxing with Leeds First Direct Arena on October 30, by which time the Californian Goddess of Pop will be 73.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 10am at ticketmaster.co.uk, AXS.com, gigantic.com, alt-tickets.com and via firstdirectarena.com or on 0844 248 1585.

Cher says: "I’m very excited to bring this show to the UK. It was the first country to embrace Sonny & Cher, and it's where we created and had our first success with Believe. It’s really my second home."

The multiple Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winner, who holds the UK record for the biggest-selling single by a female artist for Believe, will combine hits from her six-decade reign with songs from 2018's Dancing Queen album, her tribute to the music of ABBA in a year when she starred in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. Cher played Ruby Sheridan, mother to Meryl Streep's Donna, despite being only three years older than la Streep!

Launching her career in the 1960s with Sonny & Cher, Cher has sold more than 100 million records in a career that has spanned recording, concerts, film roles, Broadway theatre, television and directing. She has chalked up such hits as All I Really Want To Do; I Got You Babe; Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down); Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves; If I Could Turn Back Time; Just Like Jesse James; The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss); Believe; Strong Enough and The Music's No Good Without You.
