Where you go to get it done, when you're Cher.

"Located in the British Virgin Islands, the Bougainvillea Clinic is the only private hospital in the territory. While we offer general hospital services, our primary focus is on the surgical specialties - aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, orthopedic and spinal surgery, general, abdominal and breast surgery, gynecology, and more."

I'm on my way!
 
And to think, I wasted my youth gigging and partying and being a general screw up when I could have gone to medical school, specialized in cosmetic surgery and been making a ton of money off famous people like Axel Rose, Michael Jackson(RIP), Cher and most every female singer over 30 years old and most actors male and female today of any age. Playing music is an art and only a lucky few make huge bucks doing it. Cosmetic surgery is an art and all those doctors are rich, even the mediocre ones.
Kudos to Cher for still killing it on stage. She's amazing. I have always had sort of a, dare I say, crush on her?... I'm, not much younger than her.
I have seen her entire career from day one.
 
After awful I35 traffic we get it and are rewarded with an amazing show!
How does this lady never age?! She is still jumping around in the dance routines as well.
Starting out with a blue hair ensemble.
Highlights are when she sings with Sonny on the screen -Beat goes on and of course "I got you babe"
Holding down the low end was Ashley D with great green hair and a good beat.
IF this arena show comes through your town go!

Shes the same age as me ... can you believe that? ;)
 
Dolly Parton has the explanation: When you're a cartoon character, you don't get older.

I've long envied Sonny Bono. Not for being married to Cher, but because "Killed by tree" is something I'd like to have on my own tombstone.

We all mod our basses. Why shouldn't she mod her musical instrument too? ;)
What, she has has a tube down her throat? A voicebox installed?
I've never been a big fan of the music but I do admire her showmanship(if I may)...

She is still blowing audiences away at 80, and I usually have to grab a stool halfway through the night... my hat's off to Cher!
She's only 73, you know.
Why would it be so amazing for her to still be out there, when Mick Jagger, three years older, has been, and still is, doing his creepy grampa act, wiggling his arse around, even after his health scare this year. Hell, Ian Hunter, who IS 80, recently went out on the Mott The Hoople '75 tour, only to curtail it because of tinnitus problems, something that has hindered much younger people. I saw him with his solo band just a couple of years ago, and while, yes, there were no dancers and costume changes, it was a brilliant, moving show. Johnny Depp came out and jammed with him(he did that with 75 year old Jeff Beck recently— JB was amazing, as always). Sinatra gigged until he was 79.

A toned up body is a singer's best friend. You don't just sing with your vocal chords. Good singers with long careers are generally very health conscious people. And ignoring the cosmetic surgery for a moment, she always was a big fitness advocate. That's why she's still able to do it in her 70s without people just applauding the memory. ;)

All those people look at least a decade older than their true ages, whereas Cher (and I'm not a fan) looks a couple decades younger. On TV anyway, never seen her in person and up close. Kinda not the same.
