While fans rushed to send the star well wishes, Cher’s friend, songwriter Diane Warren was on hand to troll her over the release of new music.

“U could always put out your proper version of Prayers For This World if U really wanted your voice to be heard,” she quipped.
It’s long been rumoured Cher has been planning to release a rock version of the track, which she released back in 2017 on the soundtrack for the movie Cries from Syria.
