More than two years ago, Cher released her first holiday album Christmas and boasted that doctors found she had «the vocal cords of a 25-year-old girl,» despite her age. At the time, she joked about «the revenge of the old folks.»

According to them, Cher is increasingly relying on backing tracks to hide problems with her once indestructible voice. «Now she quickly gets out of breath and can»t handle songs that she used to sing effortlessly,« reports a source. »It«s obvious that she no longer has her former voice.»
As sources note, the singer previously underwent vocal cord surgery and recovered, but years of strain have caused irreparable damage. «Cher likes to pretend she»s not aging, but even she can«t cheat time,» warns an insider. «People want to remember her as a powerful vocalist, and unfortunately, by continuing to perform not at her best, she risks her legacy — but she herself refuses to see it.»
