Cher confirms her next album will be her last after joking she is ‘older than dirt’
AS she approaches 80, CHER is winding down her record-breaking career, saying that her next album will likely be her last.
She was speaking at London’s Lyceum Theatre in support of her memoir, where she looked as youthful as ever in a glitzy black outfit and blonde wig, below.
Talking about her next record, which will be her first of original songs since 2013, she said: “This is probably my last album that I’m gonna do.
“I’m really excited. They are great songs and I’m just really excited that I’m doing it.
“I’m really excited to be doing anything now.
“I’m older than dirt now, OK? I’m the oldest person I meet in almost every room unless I’m in an old folks’ home.
“I keep having to tell these [younger] girls like, ‘Get over yourself, get out there. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you’.
“I don’t care if you’re 50. I’d give anything to be 60 again. I was a f***ing hottie!
“It’s weird too because I know I’m older, but I don’t know how to feel it.
“I don’t know how to feel any different than the way I’ve always felt.
“I like hanging with younger people, not just men.
“I like young people because a lot of my friends don’t want to have that much fun.
“They can just go off and be old fogies.”
