Cher shares family heartbreak

Cher's beloved mother has passed away over the weekend.

In an emotional tweet, the singer revealed her mum Georgia Holt was 96.

"Mom is gone," Cher, 76, announced alongside a sad-face emoji.

The news comes just three months after Cher revealed her mum was hospitalised with pneumonia.

"Sorry I've Been Mia. Mom's Been Sick Off & On. She Just Got Out Of Hosp. She Had Pneumonia," she wrote back in September.

Holt was a model, singer and actress who appeared in both movies and TV, including I Love Lucy, The Mike Douglas Show and The Merv Griffin Show.

Amid the pandemic, Cher was extremely careful whenever around her mum and told People in 2020 that she would get tested for COVID-19 "all the time" and exercise social distancing to keep loved ones safe.
