Cher Dazzles at Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney: WATCH

Cher, 71, lit up Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras with a medley of her hits (above) including “All or Nothing”, “Strong Enough”, “Believe”, and “If I Could Turn Back Time” after making a show-stopping appearance at the parade route earlier in the evening.

The Guardian reports:

Cher, who was the headline act for the Mardi Gras after-party, had been rumoured to make an appearance during the parade and on Saturday night, the gay icon captivated the 300,000-strong crowd as she stepped out on to Taylor Square to the tune of Turn Back Time.

The singer, sporting bright orange hair and a low-cut black top with a silver-embroidered jacket, mingled with her many fans. She said she loved the feeling of the parade and even chimed in about Australia’s passing of same-sex marriage laws.

“It’s about time,” Cher told reporters.

The American singer praised the Mardi Gras and said she wished she had attended one earlier.

“I love that everybody is having such a good time and there’s no feeling of any kind of anger, there’s no negativity and that’s what I like most,” Cher said.

In the clip, Wilkas reads aloud, telling Kenworthy, “I am so proud of you. I am so happy for you. Cause I know how hard you have worked to get here. You are loved by so many people, Gus.”

The spot also deals more directly with being a gay role model and athlete.

Says one friend in a letter: “As a gay man growing up, I think the minute we realize we’re gay – it’s a flaw – but people when they look at you, they think ‘I can do anything and be gay and that there’s nothing wrong with me.’”

Another letter from a gay fan, Wendle, expresses thanks for helping him come out.
