A description from HarperCollins Publishers reads: ‘After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in intimate detail.’
The memoir will feature Cher’s “trademark honesty and humor,” it added.
The book added: ‘With her trademark honesty and humor, Cher: The Memoir chronicles how this rough diamond with no plan and little self-confidence managed to rise to become a groundbreaking superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.
‘Cher: The Memoir, Part One’ follows her extraordinary beginnings, from childhood to her meeting and marriage to Sonny Bono.
‘And reveals the extremely complicated relationship that made them world famous, but ultimately drove them apart.’
She said in the past that she felt uncomfortable revealing certain details.
