Cher reveals her moving childhood: stories from the life of an icon

The pop icon Cher, whose real name is Cheryl Sarkisian, wrote about her eventful life in an honest and touching style in her autobiography. In an interview with USA Today, she explained that writing her story was a huge challenge. "I actually didn't want to tell my story," Cher admitted, but added that she ultimately made the decision to be "much more honest and forthcoming" when she realized that otherwise she would have to give her fans their money back. The first half of her book covers her poor childhood in California, marriage to Sonny Bono and the beginnings of her superstar career, the website reports vienna.at.

A notable aspect of the autobiography is the moment when Cher discovered that for a long time she had followed a name that was not her real one. Her real name was not revealed until much later in her life, which she described as shocking in a conversation with her friends. These revelations make the book particularly compelling, with critics praising them as “bold” and “irresistible.” Her numerous anecdotes about other celebrities such as Warren Beatty, who once almost drove into her car, and the turbulent relationship with Sonny Bono, under whose shadow she lived for a long time, are also intertwined with the central themes of her autobiography spiegel.de is reported.

The autobiography, of which many are already looking forward to the second part, shows Cher not only as a diva, but also as a vulnerable woman who deals with the ups and downs of life in show business. According to critics, the work reflects remarkable resilience and is expected to become a bestseller. As Cher herself emphasized in the interview, the writing process is often challenging, which is why she may not be able to meet the deadline for the second part.
