Cher in 2014
One day before her 26th album, Closer To The Truth arrives in stores, Cher made a grand entrance on NBC’s “Today” when she arrived at Rockefeller Center riding on the back of a NYPD motorcycle.
Cher, who has been performing a residency at The Colosseum At Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, hasn’t toured since her 2004-05 outing that was originally called “The Farewell Tour” but later renamed to “You Never Can Say Goodbye Tour.”
Performing in Rockefeller Plaza, Cher sang two songs from her new album, “Woman’s World” and “I Hope You Find It.”
Commenting on the new album, Cher surprised folks by telling the “Today” audience that she’s “just not a huge Cher fan,” but added, “Having said that, I think it’s good.”
Regardless of what she thinks of her performance on Closer To The Truth, Cher also commented on the rigors of touring.
“The road is horrible, but the concerts are great,” She told Today’s Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. “I understand why guys in bands tear up hotel rooms and throw TVs out the windows, because it’s a very lonely place. The only time you have fun is at the concerts.”
