Cher - who parted company with Warners in the UK last year - has signed to Warners in the US! Warners' US division worked with Cher when she was signed to their UK sister company, and were heavily involved in the marketing of 'The Very Best Of Cher' when it was released by Warner Strategic Marketing in the US earlier this year. Such is the relationship between the label and the star that Warner Bros US boss Tom Whalley has decided to sign Cher proper.
Speaking to Billboard Whalley said: "I had just gotten to Warner Bros. and was involved with my first Cher record ['Living Proof']. I got to see her perform, and I was equally amazed at how broad her audience was. In simplest terms, she's one of those timeless artists that you don't find every day. There's no way that I could not put everything I could into re-signing her."
Cher is on tour for the rest of the month. Rumour has it she will then return to the studio to prepare for a Spring release – though Whalley did not talk about any kind of album schedule.
