Cher and Longtime Designer Bob Mackie Split, Singer Says It "Has Broken My Heart"
CELEBRITY STYLE
MARCH 14, 2014 AT 3:50PM BY SHARON TANENBAUM
Cher and Bob Mackie have split after working together for over 40 year
UPDATE Bob Mackie has opened up about not designing the costumes for Cher's latest tour. The legendary designer tells Us Weekly, "Nobody wanted to design this last tour more than I did! I am sick about it. My professional and business commitments were just too great. There simply was not enough time to give this wonderful project the proper amount of care and attention it deserves. After all these years of collaborating, it is like turning down your own little sister, and how many guys have a little sister like Cher."
If only they could turn back time!
Cher and longtime designer Bob Mackie are on the outs. The "Believe" singer tweeted her disappointment that Mackie, who is known for his flamboyant styles, feathers, and beads, couldn't design the costumes for her Dressed to Kill tour, which kicks off on March 22 in Phoenix.
"Telling you something t that has broken my heart," Cher tweeted on March 13. "The man who made all my costumes since 1972 decided he couldn't do my last tour."
The split of the dynamic duo was apparently not an amicable one. "No matter how disappointed any of u are, you don't know my grief," Cher, 67, tweeted. "I'm sure Bob can't know how much I miss him. Felt I had to tell u I'm crying."
She also explained that she pleaded with Mackie, 73, to squeeze her in to his apparently busy schedule. "I tried to convince him to end with me, but he had many reasons as 2 why he couldn't do it. 2 many obligations not enough time even 2 do 1."
However, all hope is not lost: Cher has teamed up with another designer for her tour. "Thank god I have a lovely man & wonderful designer!! Hugh Durant," Cher tweeted. "He is talented & brave. We will persevere."
Cher and Mackie first met when he worked on The Carol Burnett Show. "It was 1967 and I was working on a loose thread on a beaded gown and Cher came over and said, 'Oh, someday I'm going to have one of those," Mackie said (via WWD). "And we became friends after that."
Mackie then exclusively worked with Cher during the four years of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour beginning in 1971. "It's not like dressing a regular person; it's like dressing a crazy goddess," Mackie has said. "Sometimes she's an Egyptian goddess, and sometimes she's a biker chic goddess."
After the show's end, Mackie went on to create Cher's most iconic looks for her performances and red carpet appearances, including the 1986 and 1987 Oscars.
In August 2013, it was reported that Mackie and Cher would partner for her latest round of farewell concerts. He was expected to make around 20 costumes. "When you change that many times, you don't wear any one thing for very long," Mackie said. "And it's not a big dancing operation here."

It can’t be easy being Cher. Fans don’t expect her to simply strut around on stage and sing; they want a spectacle. Cher apparently sees this as a challenge, because the “Dressed to Kill” tour is bigger, stronger and shinier than her last outing, the so-called farewell tour that ended in 2005.
This tour launched in Phoenix on Saturday, March 22, to a sold-out US Airways Center. Opening act Pat Benatar went on 30 minutes late, meaning Cher didn’t take the stage until after 10 p.m. The main attraction expressed some nerves about the show before she even appeared. Prior to the curtains opening, Cher’s voice boomed out over the sound system: “When you grade this show, grade it on a f---ing curve!”
It was the kind of happily profane and blunt talk that is one of Cher’s trademarks. One of her others, of course, is the larger-than-life live performance, which she mastered during her days as a Vegas headliner starting in the late 1970s. It was evident there was no change in that department, either, as soon as Cher appeared on top of a pedestal in an Egyptian-themed outfit, sporting a towering headdress. It was crazy in just the right way.
The show opened with a breathless one-two punch by featuring her recent club hit “Woman’s World,” followed by the twirly disco of 1998’s “Strong Enough.” Then Cher talked to the crowd in delightfully disconnected fashion, with a conversation that started with the topic of Kim Kardashian’s rear and ended on Abraham Lincoln’s stovepipe hat. She claimed this was definitely her farewell tour, though how seriously can we take the news? At 67, she looks fit and ageless, though she doesn’t shy away from the topic: “Any people here my age?” she asked the crowd, to a cheer of approval. “I don’t believe you,” she announced.
From there, the show moved from one eye-popping set piece to another, while the costumes got increasingly grand. Cher outfits are like her greatest hits, in that there are some in the mix that fans love more than others. These include the striking Native American headdress she donned for “Half-Breed” and an outfit that recalled the flesh-baring number from 1987’s “I Found Someone” video.
Musically, she has touched on different styles through the years, and a five-piece band (with two backing singers) capably helped her run through her history. Her dark-hued voice was in fine shape as she worked her way through a setlist that focused more on past triumphs as opposed to her most recent album, last year’s “Closer to the Truth.” She didn’t even mention the disc from the stage. Then again, why should she? She’s Cher, and shameless plugging seems beneath her.
The song choices were smart, ranging from the AM-radio bliss of “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” and “Dark Lady” to a loving reading of Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis,” which she recorded on 1995’s wildly underrated “It’s a Man’s World.” She deserves more credit as a vocalist than she receives; she took “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me” from 2010’s flop movie “Burlesque” and made it into an anthem that felt deeply personal. Judging from the audience’s response, the tune could emerge as her equivalent of Sinatra’s “My Way.”
The evening’s most emotional moment occurred when she talked about ex-hubby Sonny Bono, who died in 1998. She reminisced about how he loved to be on stage, then sang “I Got You Babe” as a virtual duet as black-and-white footage of Sonny appeared on a giant video screen. For fans of a certain age, the segment could make you reach for a Kleenex.
Looking at the diversity of the crowd, Cher’s fans come from all demographics. There were people in their 20s and folks who were clearly older than the star. Seemingly all of them were on their feet for a neon-hued production of the dance-floor filler “Believe,” in which she wore a pink wig while her dancers surrounded her and two aerialists hovered above.
If it seemed like the show couldn’t top that moment, then came the encore, in which she floated above the crowd on a pedestal that drifted around the arena while she sang “I Hope You Find It.” It was essentially Cher’s grand-slam moment, which left audience members open-mouthed in wonder. On her last tour, she dared her fellow female singers, “Follow this, bitches!” Really, how can they?
Even without a curve, the night was a solid A+.

I was there for the Phoenix show. It was really interesting being at a show opening night. It was the little fuck ups that made it fun. Cher's great. I used to watch Sonny And Cher as a kid in the 70's.

With Strong Demand For Tickets, Will Cher's Dressed To Kill Tour Really Be Farewell?
Comment Now Follow Comments
Closer to the Truth is Cher’s twenty-fifth studio album and her first in over a decade. Critical reception has been good and sales have been respectable. Closer to the Truth debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 63,000 copies, which made it the highest peaking album of her career. Roughly six months after the album’s release, Cher kicked off her 49-show North American tour last night in Phoenix, and while she claims it will be her last, history suggests that may not be the case.
The ‘Dressed to Kill Tour’ follows a three-year run in Las Vegas at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace that ended in 2011. Over that span, she played 192 shows and grossed just under $100 million. The show was also seen by 686,000 fans over the run and if she sells out the entire run for ‘Dressed To Kill’, approximately the same number of Cher tickets will be sold this time around. If fans are looking to get one last chance to see her, this appears to be it, as she is definitively calling this her farewell tour. Fans with a decent memory have fair reason to be skeptical, however, as she already had a farewell tour that ran from 2002-2005. That tour was titled ‘Living Proof: The Farewell Tour’, and it was a 326-show, three-year, multi-continent, mega-tour that ended up as one of the top grossing tours of all time. The tour was originally planned as a 59-city tour, but continued to expand as demand stayed strong. Ultimately, the tour was seen by over 3.5 million fans, grossed $250 million and spawned an Emmy-winning concert special on NBC. In terms of 2014 tours comparables, that’s about the same number that One Direction tickets are expected to gross, albeit for just a single-leg tour. In the 2000 decade, those numbers made Living Proof the seventh-highest grossing tour of the 2000s, just ahead of the $235 million worth of Bruce Springsteen tickets sold for his 2007-2008 Magic Tour.
Screen Shot 2014-03-23 at 3.27.52 PM
Despite those astounding numbers, Living Proof only sold out 90% of capacity across it’s run, and based on the current number of tickets available on the primary market, 90% would be a strong clip for Dressed To Kill. Last nights’ opening show at U.S. Airways Center was filled at 95% of capacity, and at an average price on the secondary market of $191.99, it was the fourth cheapest show on the tour. While demand seems relatively good for most cities, there are a few exceptions based on data from TiqIQ. Her March 28th show at Verizon Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas appears to be having the most trouble based on the relatively scare secondary market inventory. Ticketmaster’s website is also currently offering 8-packs for $150, which equates to $18.75 a ticket, which is over half-price of the lowest-priced ticket for many of the other shows. Overall, the Dressed To Kill Tour has an average price of $267 on the secondary ticket market. Only six of the 49 shows have quantity under 500 seats on the secondary ticket market, which is typically a sign that there is lots of available inventory from the box office. The show with the lowest volume of seats available on the secondary market is the previously mentioned Verizon Arena show. Several of the shows with low quantity are in the Midwest, or South, where the 70s may not have been quite as memorable.
As for shows with the highest demand, the closer you get to the coasts, the higher ticket prices get. Barclays Center in Brooklyn has the 6th highest average price on the secondary market of $363. While there are only a few tickets left on the primary market for that show, for the majority of shows, the primary market has the best deals depending on what section of the house you’re looking to sit in. As for the show with the highest average price, that’s her return home to Las Vegas and the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 25th. That show is almost completely sold out and has an average price on the secondary market of $427. It’s likely that many of the same fans who saw her three-year long residency will be among the 16,800 in attendance. Given the strong demand, lot will be hoping that it’s the prelude to another Vegas residency.

I've got tickets to see Cher on Saturday, May 17. Looking forward to seeing her again. I saw her on her "Farewell Tour." The costumes and the playlist seem great for the "Dressing to Kill Tour."

Titillating! 67 year-old Cher stuns fans with daring outfits during live show - including heart-shaped NIPPLE PASTIES
She is one of pop music's ultimate showgirls.
And, to prove it, 67 year-old Cher took to the stage in Boston, Massachusetts, on Thursday in a variety of dramatic costumes which left fans stunned.
The ever-youthful singer endured six costume changes during the aptly-named Dressed To Kill tour, including a diamond-encrusted fringed dress with nipple pasties.
Heart-stopping: Cher performs in concert at TD Garden on April 9, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts
Completing the look with a platinum blonde wig and fishnet stockings, the hit-maker - whose anthems include Believe, Turn Back Time and I Got You Babe - cut a fabulous figure.
Clearly appealing in part to her gay audience, Cher ensured her latest stage show was both camp and cool.
One outfit saw her dressed like Cleopatra, complete with feathered head-dress, while another saw her sport a native Indian costume.
Endured: The legendary performer had her fans rocking and rolling as she put on a great show.
Delighting fans further, she even wore her iconic ensemble from the 1989 If I Could Turn Back Time video, which saw her sport a sheer, full-length body stocking with a diamond-encrusted finish, leather biker jacket, thong and knee-high boots.
Impressively, she looked hardly any different to when she debuted the look more than 25 years ago when she filmed the famous video on board the battleship USS Missouri.
Clearly appealing in part to her gay audience, Cher ensured her latest stage show was both camp and cool
She found a way to turn back time! The pensioner looked no different to her 1980s hey-day
She later changed into a flattering black wig, complete with a corset and pink satin-lined jacket, before transforming into a stunning incarnation of Beyonce Knowles, in which she wore a blonde wig.
The spectacle is part of a major tour of America and Canada, which will see her on the road until November.
Fortunately, the range of looks will at least quell rumours about her identity as a woman. In December, last year, a book claimed that Cher once had to reassure fans that she was not born male because of her deep voice.
The singer hired a secretary to write letters to anyone who inquired about her gender in a bid to quash rumours that were circulating. One stark response to a fan in 1965 read: ‘Cher, we assure you, is a girl.’

Cher, pictured, was 19 and married to Sonny Bono, 30, when they recorded hits such as ‘I got you babe’.
But their success also brought vicious rumours about her gender, writes Josiah Howard in Cher: Strong Enough.
He wrote: ‘Just three months after they hit the big time, Sonny and Cher's... secretary was charged with responding to each and every inquiry, even those from fans, to refute the rumour.
The 1965 letter continues: ‘As for Cher’s singing voice being too low: I think you will find that a lot of great female singers have low voices.’
‘Tell your mom that Cher is just a very slim, very pretty girl with a low voice. I think if you listen closer, you will find a lot of feminine quality in her voice.’

Titillating! 67 year-old Cher stuns fans with daring outfits during live show - including heart-shaped NIPPLE PASTIES
She is one of pop music's ultimate showgirls.
And, to prove it, 67 year-old Cher took to the stage in Boston, Massachusetts, on Thursday in a variety of dramatic costumes which left fans stunned.
The ever-youthful singer endured six costume changes during the aptly-named Dressed To Kill tour, including a diamond-encrusted fringed dress with nipple pasties.
Heart-stopping: Cher performs in concert at TD Garden on April 9, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts
Completing the look with a platinum blonde wig and fishnet stockings, the hit-maker - whose anthems include Believe, Turn Back Time and I Got You Babe - cut a fabulous figure.
Clearly appealing in part to her gay audience, Cher ensured her latest stage show was both camp and cool.
One outfit saw her dressed like Cleopatra, complete with feathered head-dress, while another saw her sport a native Indian costume.
Endured: The legendary performer had her fans rocking and rolling as she put on a great show.
Delighting fans further, she even wore her iconic ensemble from the 1989 If I Could Turn Back Time video, which saw her sport a sheer, full-length body stocking with a diamond-encrusted finish, leather biker jacket, thong and knee-high boots.
Impressively, she looked hardly any different to when she debuted the look more than 25 years ago when she filmed the famous video on board the battleship USS Missouri.
