It seems that Cher's Farewell Tour represented less of a goodbye and more of a see you later.
The legendary singer-actress has confirmed long-gestating rumors that she will be headlining a song-and-dance spectacular at the Colosseum at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace, beginning May 6.
Under the terms of her deal with promoter AEG Live, she will perform approximately 200 shows over a three-year period, trading off shifts with Bette Midler, who begins her own stint at the Colosseum later this month.
"I started in Vegas at Caesars, so I've come full circle," the 61-year-old performer said in a statement. "I'm back and I plan to give my fans the best experience yet. I think everybody knows I only do things in a big way."
Beginning in May, Cher will perform four shows a week for a month, then will return in mid-August for concerts through October.
Her repertoire will include songs from the entire 44-year span of her career, from Sonny & Cher classics to her more recent pop oeuvres.
In addition to her vocals, the show will feature elaborate choreography, incoporating 14 dancers and four aerialists, as well as flashy costumes by Cher's designer of choice, Bob Mackie.
"The fan anticipation leading up to this announcement has been unprecedented," said John Meglen, co-CEO and president of AEG Live/Concerts West. "Cher's talent is legendary around the globe, and there is simply no one like her."
Over the course of her career, Cher has won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Grammy, as well as three Golden Globe awards. She has released more than 25 albums and sold over 100 million records worldwide.
Her Farewell Tour, which ran from 2002 to 2005, was the ninth-biggest grossing tour in history, ringing up $192.5 million in ticket sales for 273 shows, per Billboard.
Tickets to her latest endeavor went on sale Thursday, with prices starting at $95.
