Cher has announced the release of the first volume of her two-part autobiography. Cher: The Memoir, Part One will be published on 19 November by HarperCollins and is available to pre-order now.
A synopsis of The Memoir reads, “Tracing the life and career of the iconic singer and actor from childhood to the break-up of her marriage to Sonny Bono, the first instalment of Cher’s memoirs abounds in unforgettable memories and matchless insights into the music and entertainment industries.
“The extraordinary life of Cher can be told by only one person … Cher herself. After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in intimate detail, in a two-part memoir.
“Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center.
“She is a longtime activist and philanthropist. As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship.
“With her trademark honesty and humour, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.
“Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono – and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.
“Cher: The Memoir reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother and the superstar.
“It is a life too immense for only one book.”
