Farewell and Vegas
In June 2002, Cher embarked on what was promoted as her farewell tour called ‘Living Proof’, and it became the most successful tour ever by a female artist at the time - earning $145 million from 200 performances.
In 2008, the singer began a three-year residency in Las Vegas and returned to touring in the years that followed.
Speaking about her decision not to retire, she explained: “It’s all I ever wanted to do, from the time I was four years old. Sometimes I think, ‘You better stop, this is too much.’ But that’s momentary.”
