On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the legendary musician, 78, announced thebook tourfor her upcoming memoirCher: The Memoir, Part 1– which comes out Nov. 19.

The tour will kick off in New York City on November 20 before stopping in Englewood, N.J.; London; Beverly Hills, Calif.; and San Francisco. Tickets for the tour go on sale on Oct. 10 at 12 p.m. ET.

The book is expected to showcase the singer-songwriter’s “trademark honesty and humor” and detail “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,” according to a synopsis.

In November 2023, the “Believe” singerteased her bookduring an appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, in which she said the writing process was not going smoothly.

“I just totally chickened out,” the singer confessed. “I didn’t put in some things that needed to be put in. And they’re not comfortable, but they need to be put in so I have to go back and man up.”

At the time, Cher said she realized that her tell-all needed to dive deeper into her life story.

“I’ve lived too long and done too much and so it’s like it should be the encyclopedia,” Cher shared.

And because, as the synopsis for Part I points out, “It is a life too immense for only one book,” there’s a second book coming in 2025.
