that the life of Cher He was cannon fodder for a memoir in which he could open up to tell the most unknown aspects of his interesting life, as anyone who closely followed his professional career could see. Although it has been expected for a long time, the announcement finally arrived. In July, the singer publicly presented her autobiographical book project, which would be divided into two parts that divide her life into two parts, the one when she dominated the stage and was a music star and all the previous decades, more sentimental and discovery. . The first was clear about when she should leave, but no further details are known about the second.
This Tuesday, November 19, and meeting the scheduled release date, Cher published ‘Cher: The Memoir, Part One’ in the United States and before going on sale it had already placed itself in the top five of products purchased from Amazon. The entire population wanted to get hold of the long-awaited mirror of the artist’s life, since the expectation that it had caused about the vital episodes that she would relate was no wonder. From the beginning to his turbulent relationship with his ex-partner Sonny Bono had been captured in the pages of this first part, whose previews already left honey on the lips by demonstrating that the singer did not hold back from her past and would squeeze every last drop of it.
However, she didn’t do it entirely. As ‘The New York Times’ shared, Cher commissioned the writing of her story to several biographers who began writing the first draft that she ended up discarding. After giving the idea she had in her head a second thought, the artist expanded the staff of authors at her service in addition to the pages at her disposal. In four months, three writers and an editor who visited Cher once a week composed their memoirs. The artist only needed many sincere talks that left her “exhausted” to bring everything to light in the first 432 pages. The beginning of his story takes place on the same day of his birth and the end in the early 80s, when he is about to take his first steps in the world of acting. In between, her relationship with Bono, which marked a before and after in her life.
Hard childhood
In 1946, Cherlyn Sarkisian came into the world with the fate of her childhood marked by the economic difficulty her family was going through, growing up without the presence of a father figure, and too much emotional instability. According to what she says in the book, her mother wanted to be an artist and abandoned her daughter in an orphanage to be able to make a living. The time he lived with her was not easy. Her mother’s partners did not stop happening in the family home and several exposed the girl to the reality of drug use and crime. The lack of maternal responsibility of Georgia, Cher’s mother, would even lead her to be forced to make the decision to abort before her birth. In the end she did not take it and the artist thanks her for that radical change of opinion in her memoirs. “Thank God he got up from that stretcher, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing these pages,” he says in the pages.
When little Cher moved with her mother to Los Angeles, the star life with which she was able to come into contact contrasted with the poverty that conditioned her personal situation, because, unlike the children of famous people, she admits that she wore shoes with cardboard and rubber sole. “I witnessed too much chaos, too much anger, too much fear… too much,” he says to close a stage and begin what is undoubtedly the most stormy of his first autobiographical installment. At the age of 16, he met in a cafeteria Sonny Bono when he was 27 and she let him come live in her house in exchange for cleaning and cooking for him. “I don’t find you particularly attractive,” says the artist, which her boyfriend made clear to her.
stormy relationship
The composer introduced Cher to the world of music, but their romance would have more lights than shadows. Married two years after meeting each other, what she experienced with him would be a true nightmare in which she even considered ending her life because of how “trapped she felt in the relationship.” According to him, Bono’s business ambition made him want to control his career, preventing him from making decisions, making friends or having leisure. And this routine, in which he was also unfaithful to Cher, drowned the singer. «I felt dizzy from loneliness. I saw how easy it would be to step into the void and disappear. For a few crazy minutes I couldn’t imagine any other option. “I did it five or six times,” he opens up about a night he spent in a hotel in the ’70s that ‘People’ reports.
In addition, his ex-partner also led him to ruin. «He took all my money. I thought we were husband and wife, half is his, half is mine. It didn’t occur to me that there would be another way,” he says. They were both rich and famous, but their plans did not coincide, not even when it came to creating a common project. Cher has also reported that during one of the most tense periods of her relationship and “loveless marriage,” her ex-partner tried to attack her on several occasions, but thinking about her family made her understand that taking her own life was not “a viable solution.” “I don’t have to jump, I can just leave him,” he says he thought. And so he did. On one occasion when Cher was asked if she left Sonny for another man, she stated that she did it for a woman.
