Cher and Cher alike

It seems like only yesterday, but it was actually in August 2002 that Cher ostensibly said bye-bye to her hometown fans as part of her farewell tour. But she just couldn’t stop herself -- the buses kept rolling, and now here she is again, promising that this weekend’s shows really, really are her final concerts. It would be hard to find a more diva-friendly setting than the Hollywood Bowl, a venue that also finds the flamboyant star wrapping things up not far from the Hollywood recording studios where it all began for her in the early ‘60s.
