Cher celebrated her 74th birthday on Wednesday with a socially distanced party outside her lavish Malibu mansion.

The Chiquitita singer revealed details of her big day as she responded to a fan who tweeted her a picture of the chocolate cake she had made for the star’s birthday.

“We were outside, masks, gloves and social distancing,” the icon shared. “Hardest part, social distancing, not easy! Being outside helped.”

Cher added that there were 10 people present for the celebration, revealing: “There was cake. Hope we did it right. It’s not easy. A million things you’re used to doing that you can’t do.”

Earlier in the day, the star tweeted her gratitude after being inundated with birthday messages from her biggest fans.

Calling her followers “the best”, the All Or Nothing hitmaker said: “I can’t believe I’m ‘so’ old and ‘still crazy after all these years’. I can’t find words to thank you for all you’ve (done) for me.”

Cher fans gave her the ultimate birthday surprise – getting her 2001 album Living Proof to its peak on the Global iTunes Chart with the #JusticeForLivingProof campaign.
