The thing about Cher is that she is worth millions and millions of dollars and she still keeps on going for her fans. She obviously doesn't need the money and she's 65 now so she could retire anytime she wanted to. She's in the studio right now working on 4 new songs for her new record. Plus, she is executive producing movies. Clearly she loves her fans and knows how much we want to see her do new movies and listen to her new album. She really does care about us otherwise why would she do it? LOVE YOU BUNCHES CHER! Thank you for doing what you do and please never stop!
