American pop icon Cher has admitted she’s “never been a huge Cher fan”.
The 72-year-old icon is one of the music industry’s best-known talents, but she has never particularly enjoyed listening to her own voice.
Asked to recall when she started to feel confident as a singer, she confessed, “I never feel confident. Off and on, I’ve felt good about my singing. But I’ve never been a huge Cher fan. I like doing it more than hearing it. So except for a couple of albums…”
The American star is set to release a new album later this month called ‘Dancing Queen’, which will feature versions of songs recorded by the Swedish pop group ABBA and is inspired by her appearance in

The chart-topping star explained how working in a film studio was easier than performing on a stage.
After it was suggested that acting is hard work, she said: “It didn’t feel that way to me. Also, I didn’t have to look at an audience. My whole life, I had to look out at the audience and go; ‘How am I doing? Do you like this?’
“But when you act, you only have to look at the other actors. You just have to trust them and find a way to become this other thing.”
