Cher Crew
My travel agent phoned this morning to report that he had scored me one ticket at Kansas City's Sprint Center for Cher's next Farewell Tour - a floor seat that cost about as much as I used to set aside for a house payment. The big show will be on Saturday night, April 18th. I attended Cher's 2014 "Farewell, Farewell, Farewell Tour" at that same venue in May of 2014 - a show which rocked downtown Kansas City with Cyndi Lauper romping and stomping across the stage as Cher's opening act. (I am really eager to see who Cher brings along this time to fire up the crowd!)
Cher's first Farewell Tour began in Toronto in 2002 and ran for three years (325 shows) before ending in 2005 at the Hollywood Bowl. She announced at the show I attended in 2014 that it was absolutely her last tour - "because we're all going to be dead in a couple of years anyway." But it wasn't.
Cher was sixty-eight the last time I saw her, and now she is a more mature seventy-three - but still younger and more energetic than a couple of the main Democratic presidential candidates. The actress and singer, who remains politically active, made headlines a couple of years ago when she donated 180,000 bottles of water to the people of Flint, Michigan, and she is often vocal in her criticism of Donald John Trump.
And, the woman who refers to herself as an "icon," puts on one helluva a great live performance. A trip to see Cher is a religious pilgrimage of the first order!
