NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Cher has long known only one person could take on the job of telling her story.
And she's telling it in two parts.
Dey Street Books announced Wednesday that 鈥淐her: The Memoir, Part One鈥� will come out Nov. 19, with the second volume to follow in 2025. Dey Street, a HarperCollins imprint, is promising a 鈥渢rue story, in intimate detail,鈥� starting with her 鈥渙ften-chaotic鈥� childhood and famed and troubled partnership with Sonny Bono.
鈥淲ith her trademark honesty and humor, 鈥楥her: The Memoir鈥� traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century,鈥� the publisher's announcement reads in part. 鈥�'Cher: The Memoir, Part One' follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono 鈥� and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.鈥�
Cher, 78, is the only woman to top the Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, her hits including 鈥淒ark Lady,鈥� 鈥淏elieve鈥� and 鈥淒J Play a Christmas Song.鈥� She won an Oscar for her starring role in 鈥淢oonstruck鈥� and has received numerous other honors, including membership in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
