Cher's new memoir, spanning from her early life to the beginning of the 1980s, offers a glimpse into her extraordinary journey. The book delves into her tumultuous childhood marked by poverty, violence, and familial instability, juxtaposed with moments of wealth and privilege. While the first chapter is a captivating and energetic read, it hints at the resilience and complexities that have shaped Cher's iconic persona.
The first chapter of the superstar performer’s recollections is full-blooded and hearty, but only hints at her real persona
Venturing into young adulthood, the first recognisable version of Cher starts to appear, along with a galaxy of familiar faces. At 15, she’s making out with 25-year-old Warren Beatty , and after becoming the singing duo Sonny & Cher with her first husband, the late Sonny Bono, and spawning 1965’s deathless global smash I Got You Babe , she’s jet-setting and hanging out with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Brian Wilson, Salvador Dalí, Francis Ford Coppola and more.
After wondering if she should jump off a balcony, Cher leaves, only to discover Bono has tied her into a contract of “involuntary servitude”, owning 95% of her earnings . Despite this, and even as the lawsuits start flying, she still seems intent on spraying air freshener over Bono’s reputation, reminiscing at great, fond length about their onstage chemistry and banter.
