Cher honored with Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award

American singer of Armenian descent, actress, music producer, and film director Cher has been honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy at the Grammys Special Merit Awards in Los Angeles.

The singer did not attend the award presentation; instead, Cher addressed the audience with a short video message.

“The only thing I ever wanted to be was a singer. When I was 4 years old I used to run around the house naked, singing into a hair brush. Things haven’t changed all that much,” she said.

The 68th Grammy Awards ceremony took place on February 1 in Los Angeles.
