Cher, the iconic singer, is set to release the first part of her memoir, titled *Cher: The Memoir, Part One*, on November 19. At 78 years old, Cher has a storied career and life that she feels cannot be contained in a single book. The cover features a black-and-white photo of her with a contemplative pose, reflecting the introspective nature of the memoir.
The memoir will delve into Cher’s rise to fame, starting from her challenging upbringing and struggles with dyslexia to her aspirations of stardom. It will also recount her early years in the music industry and her relationship with her first husband and musical partner, Sonny Bono.
Their marriage lasted from 1964 to 1975, and they had a son, Chaz Bono. The narrative includes the impact of Sonny’s death in a skiing accident in 1998 and Cher’s life with her second husband, Gregg Allman, with whom she had another son, Elijah Blue Allman.

Cher’s publisher highlighted the vast scope of her life story, indicating that it required two volumes to fully capture. The second part of the memoir is scheduled for release in 2025. Cher’s decision to share her life story in such detail comes after initially hesitating to reveal all aspects of her life, as she confessed in a 2023 interview on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*.
Despite initial reservations and difficulties in sharing uncomfortable details, Cher decided to push through, recognizing the importance of documenting her extensive life experiences. She humorously remarked on the vastness of her life, suggesting it could fill an encyclopedia, and acknowledged the need to include even the less pleasant parts of her story to present an authentic account.
Cher’s determination to complete her memoir was aided by her publishing company, HarperCollins, which encouraged her to finish the project. In an interview with *The Hollywood Reporter*, she mentioned the company’s persistent support in bringing her memoir to completion.
Fans eagerly anticipate the release of the first part of her memoir, which promises to provide a comprehensive and candid look at the life of the legendary singer.
