“The Name Of The Game”
“SOS”
“Waterloo”
“Mamma Mia”
“Chiquitita”
“Fernando”

The feel-good album got to number three on the Billboard 200, making it her highest-selling debut to date in the US, as well as her best performance internationally for a decade.

Cher said she had always been a fan of ABBA, and was inspired by work on the Mamma Mia! sequel.

She explained: “It’s not what you think of when you think ABBA, ’cause I did it in a different way.

“I’ve always liked ABBA and saw the original Mamma Mia! musical on Broadway three times.

There’s also been recent suggestion she may be working on a follow-up album.

What has Cher said about the UK tour?

Cher, the Oscar, Emmy and GRAMMY award-winning superstar, will perform an array of songs from her Dancing Queen album—Cher’s tribute to ABBA.

“It’s really my second home.”

—Cher

Cher said: “I’m very excited to bring this show to the UK. It was the first country to embrace Sonny & Cher, and its where we created and had our first success with ‘Believe’. It’s really my second home.”
