Cher Shares Puzzling Birthday Plans Ahead Of Turning 78

Birthdays are something to look forward to, but not for Cher, who plans to celebrate by “putting my pillow over my head and screaming.” It is no news that the goddess of Pop hates getting older and “would give anything to be 70 again.”

As she turns 78 on May 20, Cher already set the tone for what her well-wishers and fans can expect, noting that it would not be some happy party. Last November, she expressed her reluctance as well on Good Morning Britain, admitting that she “just can’t believe I will be 80 sooner than I wish.”

How Cher plans to celebrate her 78th birthday

For Cher, age remains just a number, as she promised to keep wearing her jeans and never let her hair go gray. In her words, letting the silver locks thrive is “for other girls,” and she is “just not doing it.” Contrary to what Cher’s critics claim, she is “not trying to be young,” and she simply keeps up with the trend and allows herself to grow old.

Speaking of trends, Cher is not letting risque fashion go anytime soon. She often storms red carpets and public events wearing cut-outs and revealing outfits. The singer is grateful for her “pretty amazing” genes, which also contribute to her stunning looks.

Throughout her five-decade career, Cher has been in and out of surgery to keep her body in shape. She has been candid about her cosmetic procedures, which include a facelift, rhinoplasty, cheek fillers, Botox, and a boob job that she eventually regretted.

The music icon gave fair reasons for her frequent surgeries, explaining that her job requires her to keep up with societal beauty standards. In her industry, “becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing,” hence her decision to go under the knife so often. Cher has no regrets about spending nearly a million dollars on her looks, which has clearly paid off and kept her relevant.
