Six decades of Cher
In 2017, Cher was awarded the sought-after Billboard Icon Award. She was even called “one of the most dominant figures in music and entertainment for more than six decades,” which was mostly due to her easy transition in different music genres. This skill has allowed her to draw many audiences and fans from different generations. She thanks her mother and ex-husband, Sonny, for their trust in her abilities and for pushing her to success.

Debilitating illness
In the 1980s, Cher was diagnosed to have Epstein-Barr virus and its effects on her body are felt over the years. This variation of herpes leads to communicable mononucleosis which causes flare ups. The Flare-ups can cause immobility and can be debilitating for a long period of time. Because of this, Cher even had to cancel some of her concerts on her “Dressed to Kill” tour in 2014.
