Cher, singer and actor

Desert Island Discs (Cher)

2024

In this episode of Desert Island Discs, Cher remembers her challenging childhood. She talks about being in an orphanage – briefly – although she does not remember that time.

Although Cher has written about being in foster care, she did not speak of that during this interview.

Much of the conversation centred on Cher’s relationship with Sonny Bono.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
