Iconic Deal For Global Icon Cher
• Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe Award-winning superstar Cher has entered into an agreement with Irving Azoff‘s Iconic Artists Group to acquire, develop and expand her storied musical legacy to new generations of fans. The deal encompasses a range of music assets from Cher’s seven-decade career.
Cher said, “I’ve known Irving for 50 years. I’m thrilled to still be friends and pleased to have Iconic on board to represent my past work in entertainment from music, TV and film. While I’m still working away, it’s good to have a longtime friend to honor and market what I’ve already accomplished these last decades.”
Cher is the fifth-ranked female artist with the most Billboard US Hot 100 charted singles, including “I Got You Babe,” “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves,” to “If I Could Turn Back Time,” and “Believe.” She’s the only artist to have a No. 1 single on a Billboard chart in each of the past six decades.
Azoff commented, “I’ve been fortunate to count Cher and her sister Georganne as friends from my absolute early days arriving in LA where we all chased our dreams. Over the past six decades, Cher has transcended boundaries, reached the pinnacle in music, TV, and film, and became a global superstar. We are proud to work with the one and only Cher to extend her legacy and promote her talent to future generations.” Jimmy Edwards, President of Iconic said, “Cher is easily one of the world’s biggest pop icons whose influence on popular culture is immeasurable. We are honored to add this beloved superstar to Iconic’s roster of artists.”
Cher’s deal follows Iconic’s recent acquisitions of the catalogs of Dean Martin, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Nat King Cole, Linda Ronstadt, and Joe Cocker. Iconic launched in January 2020 with the acquisition of a controlling interest in the legendary catalog of The Beach Boys.
