Cher’s ‘The Farewell Tour’ Live Album to Debut on Streaming and Vinyl
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Cher, a trailblazer whose career has spanned over six decades, is set to give her fans—and especially her LGBTQ+ audience—a reason to celebrate this fall. On September 26, 2025, Warner Records will release her classic live album, ‘The Farewell Tour,’ for the first time on streaming platforms and a special edition hot pink and purple 2LP vinyl. This marks a significant expansion of access to an album that, until now, was only available on CD since its original release in 2003, when it captured the electric energy of her performance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on November 7, 2002 .
The expanded and remastered edition of ‘The Farewell Tour’ is more than a reissue—it’s a reintroduction. For the first time, listeners will have access to three tracks previously exclusive to the Emmy® Award-winning concert special: “Save Up All Your Tears,” “We All Sleep Alone,” and “Different Kind of Love Song” . In anticipation, Cher has released a newly remastered live recording of “All I Really Want to Do,” a song that marked her solo debut in 1965 and set the stage for her extraordinary journey .
The album’s digital debut ensures that a new generation—many of whom may have only streamed Cher’s vast catalog—can now experience the energy and artistry of her live performance. The exclusive vinyl edition, pressed in eye-catching hot pink and purple, is a nod to both Cher’s flamboyant style and her ongoing embrace of LGBTQ+ visibility .
Cher’s Living Proof: The Farewell Tour was a watershed moment in pop culture. Spanning from June 2002 to April 2005 and comprising 325 shows, the tour broke records and earned Cher the Guinness World Record for the highest grossing tour by a female artist at the time . The Miami concert immortalized on the album was emblematic of her connection to both her audience and the LGBTQ+ community, which has long found resonance in Cher’s bold self-expression, advocacy, and resilience.
Originally peaking at number 79 on the UK Official Albums Chart and selling over 200,000 copies in the U.S. as of January 2006, ‘The Farewell Tour’ album has been a touchstone for fans seeking both nostalgia and inspiration .
The timing of this release is especially poignant, as Cher recently hinted that her next album could be her last. Her 2023 album ‘Christmas’ affirmed her status as a record-breaking artist, making her the first solo performer to achieve Top 40 hits in seven consecutive decades .
As September approaches, fans and newcomers alike can look forward to reliving—or discovering for the first time—the magic of Cher’s Farewell Tour. Whether dancing alone, gathering with friends, or marching in Pride, this landmark release offers a moment to honor one of pop’s most beloved and affirming voices.
