LA, Feb 13: Cher is not ready to stop touring just yet. The artist, whose 2003 Farewell shows earned the third-best grosses of the year, will embark on a European trek May 8. Marshall Arts, the company behind Paul McCartney's recent U.K. tour, will produce the shows, which wrap July 3. Tickets are expected to go on sale soon for shows in Ireland, England, Germany, Denmark, France, Switzerland and Austria.
There is also word that Clear Channel Entertainment, which produced her $76.3 million-grossing U.S. dates last year, is working on bringing Cher back to the States for a 2004 run.
The success of the Farewell tour has even caught Cher's handlers off guard. "No question that everyone is surprised at how well it's done," the artist's co-manager, Lindsay Scott, told Billboard in November. "It's sort of like 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' -- not stylistically, but in that it's taking on a cult status. People keep coming back."
