Cher has confirmed she is going to start work on her 28th studio album.
Cher has teased a new album is in the works.
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker appeared on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ this week to promote her new two-part memoir, and she was asked whether there will be “another album” by the host.
Without giving anything away, she simply replied: “I’m about to.”
The 78-year-old music legend released her first album featuring original material in ten years last year.
‘Christmas’ – which followed 2013’s ‘Close to the Truth’ – also marked her first-ever festive record.
Cher – who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October – released the greatest hits album ‘Forever’ in September.
The same month it was reported that the singer is in talks to play the legends slot at Glastonbury in 2025.
Cher is believed to have held “meaningful discussions” with the world-famous music festival’s organisers about playing the coveted Sunday afternoon spot reserved for music royalty.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Cher is practically the legend of all pop music legends. She would be incredible.
“It’s been a long time coming but she is finally in meaningful talks with Glastonbury about playing the legend’s slot.”
Cher hasn’t toured the UK since 2019 and while a full tour “doesn’t interest her anymore”, she’s open to the idea of performing at Glastonbury.
The insider added: “Everything is very much in the planning stages, but Cher is hoping to play a handful of shows in the UK next year and Glastonbury could be one of them. The idea of a full scale tour just doesn’t interest her anymore.”
Cher previously admitted to being surprised by her own longevity.
The chart-topping star – who released her debut solo album, ‘All I Really Want to Do’, in 1965 – revealed that she never imagined that she’d still be working at her age.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “I never thought about getting this old and still having a job!”
Despite this, Cher doesn’t have any plans to quit the music business anytime soon.
She said: “Barbra Streisand once asked me, ‘Why are you still working?’ And I said, ‘Because some day I won’t be able to.’ So, for as long as I can work, I will.”
