Fans turn up for their Cher
Noel Mengel 12mar05
NEVER mind the spectacle, dance routines and costume changes, what you will really want to know is how Cher looked.
And at show number 308 on her three-year Farewell tour, Cher is looking better than anyone who had their first hit 40 years ago has any right to.
Soon after arriving on stage last night at the first of two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Cher promised there definitely would be no comebacks.
To say goodbye, she delivered a set that ranged from a disco version of U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For all the way back for a medley of early hits All I Really Want To Do and Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.
Despite the demands of this tour, the voice is also in fine shape and even with only a few shows to go before she finally does say goodbye, she still radiates energy and personality.
Tonight's second Brisbane show is number 309 on the marathon goodbye tour, and Australia is the last stop before one final hometown show in Los Angeles.
The Australian leg wraps up in Sydney next Friday after 12 Australian concerts to more than 100,000 fans.
