Cher opened up about her journey to financial stability during an appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’. The iconic singer, 77, shared how she faced a setback, losing all her hard-earned money at one point. Determined to support her family, she made the bold decision to start anew, opting for a Las Vegas residency, a move not commonly embraced by artists in the 1980s.
Recalling her residency at Caesar’s Palace, Cher described the initial scepticism surrounding Las Vegas as an entertainment hub. Despite doubts, she took to the stage at the Circus Maximus Showroom with a series titled ‘A Celebration at Caesars Palace,’ performing hits like ‘Lookin for Love’ ‘Take It to the Limit,’ and ‘Out Here on My Own.’

Acknowledging the role of luck in her success, Cher expressed gratitude for her enduring career, recognizing the importance of both talent and opportunity. She emphasized the element of luck, considering herself fortunate despite acknowledging others’ superior vocal abilities.
Cher’s contributions to music will be celebrated further this year as she is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This recognition comes alongside other esteemed artists like Mariah Carey, Eric B. & Rakim, and Lenny Kravitz, solidifying her legacy in the music industry.
