Cher has finally announced her two-part memoir, with part one being released later this year

Cher is ready to tell-all.

The 78-year-old pop superstar inked a deal with HarperCollins Publishers to put pen to paper and lift the lid on her life in show business in her first ever book.

According to the press release, Cher's life is "too immense for only one book," so the first half, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, will be released November 20, 2024, with the second half coming in 2025. 

"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.

"Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled."

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."

"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.

To celebrate the news, Cher shared the cover to social media, which features a black-and-white image of the Believe singer with her hand over her head, leaning sideways with her long, dark hair and winged eyeliner. 

Cher's name is featured in a gradient of blue to pink, with the remainder of the title is in a white font at the bottom.

The singer previously confirmed she had signed a deal to write her first memoir, but during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last year, Cher admitted the project had stalled.

She said: "I just totally chickened out. I didn’t put in some things that needed to be put in. And they’re not comfortable, but they need to be put in so I have to go back and man up ...

"I’ve lived too long and done too much and so it’s like it should be the encyclopaedia."
