    Cher is in talks to perform at Glastonbury

    The 78-year-old pop icon has held "meaningful discussions" with the festival organisers about playing the coveted legend's slot at Glastonbury in 2025


    A source told The Sun newspaper: "Cher is practically the legend of all pop music legends. She would be incredible.

    "It's been a long time coming but she is finally in meaningful talks with Glastonbury about playing the legend's slot."

    Cher hasn't toured the UK since 2019 and while a full tour "doesn't interest her anymore", she's open to the idea of performing at Glastonbury.

    The insider added: "Everything is very much in the planning stages but Cher is hoping to play a handful of shows in the UK next year and Glastonbury could be one of them. The idea of a full scale tour just doesn't interest her anymore."

    Cher previously admitted to being surprised by her own longevity.

    The chart-topping pop icon - who released her debut solo album, 'All I Really Want to Do', in 1965 - revealed that she never imagined that she'd still be working at her age.

    She told the Guardian newspaper: "I never thought about getting this old and still having a job!"

    Despite this, Cher doesn't have any plans to quit the music business anytime soon.

    She said: "Barbra Streisand once asked me, 'Why are you still working?' And I said, 'Because some day I won't be able to.' So, for as long as I can work, I will."

    Cher first rose to fame alongside her ex-husband Sonny Bono - but she's admitted that they were a "bizarre combination".

    She explained: "I was a terrible singer at first and Sonny was a frightening singer. But he was a good songwriter."
