More dates surface for Cher's farewell tour

The latest leg of Cher 's lengthy farewell outing, which kicked off two years ago, now stretches into the fall.

The singer has tacked a batch of September dates onto the run, a half-dozen of which are set in Florida, and has also filled in a couple of August blanks.

Ticket pre-sales for most of the newly added dates are scheduled to kick off on Friday (6/25) and Saturday (6/26). Details are posted at Cher's website.

Cher launched her open-ended farewell tour in June of 2002, and has played more than 200 shows for a total of more than 2.2 million fans in North America. According to promoter Clear Channel Entertainment, the singer has said that this year's shows will be her last.

Concertgoers can expect to hear songs culled from throughout Cher's four-decade-long career, and to see the singer make multiple costume changes.

Last summer, Cher issued "Cher Live: The Farewell Tour," a DVD that features 18 songs recorded during her Nov. 8, 2002 concert in Miami. A simultaneously released audio CD that houses the same 18 tracks has sold more than 2 million copies, according to a press release.
