CHER to hit New York City!
Never known to do things in a small way, Cher will be racing through New York City on a four day whirlwind visit to promote her new single, “Woman’s World” which she debuted last week on the final episode of NBC’s “The Voice”. “Woman’s World” is the first single from Cher’s upcoming album scheduled to be released on Warner Bros. Records on September 24th.
Cher is scheduled to be a guest on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens: Live” at 11pm EST on Bravo and will go from there to Gay Nightlife Icon Brandon Voss’s Thursday night party Q held at Marquee Nightclub in Chelsea. The Q party will honor Cher with a special tribute retrospective show covering Cher’s entire career so far. Cher is also planning on officially launching her appearance at NY’s Pride by playing “Woman’s World” single from the DJ booth at Marquee.
Friday is a full radio day visiting stations including Cher’s appearance on Sirius XM’s prestigious Town Hall Series with 15 contest winners who get to ask Cher questions in person.
Cher’s New York City visit culminates with a very special performance at NYC Pride’s 27th Annual Pier Dance. As one fan so eloquently put it, “We’ll get to see Cher sparkling on the Pier all the way from the moon.”
