Cher looking to buy a tropical paradise in New Zealand
19 February 2005
Between photo shoots and performing for 20,000 fans in Auckland Cher has been busy doing what visiting entertainers do - looking for a piece of New Zealand to buy.
The 58-year-old singer said that she's not after anything too grand: "I just want about 20 acres and a beach."
During an exclusive photo shoot the perfectly groomed Cher said she had engaged a real estate agent to find the right block of land between her two New Zealand performances.
She has already looked at several properties and was meeting the agent to look at pictures of more.
The singer, dubbed the world's sexiest grandmother, was not sure exactly where she wanted to buy, but it had to be "some place tropical".
Wearing pink slingbacks, black cord cargo pants, a white T shirt and black hoodie with pink tinted sunglasses, Cher said she was excited to be in here as part of a farewell tour which started in 2002.
The singer has hired a helicopter so she and her crew - which included a manager, several hair and makeup people and a head bodyguard - can see more of the countryside.
"We have just seen a little bit but so far it's great. We were really excited to come here because we have never been here before."
Cher performs at North Harbour Stadium tonight and at the Westpac Centre in Christchurch on Tuesday night.
Details of her costumes - which have been known to be less than restrained - remain top secret. As for the colour of her ever-changing hair, it's too early to say if it will remain the fluorescent pinky-red-orange that matched her eyeshadow, shoes and sunglasses for Thursday's photo shoot.
