(4/8/03, 7 a.m. ET) -- On Tuesday night (April 8), Cher says goodbye to life on the road in Cher: The Farewell Tour. The two-hour special was taped last November in Miami and includes material from all phases of Cher's career.

She opens the show with her rendition of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and belts out tunes like "Believe," "If I Can Turn Back Time," and "Song For The Lonely." The special includes an interview in which Cher explains why she's leaving lavish stage productions behind, as well as videos and the singer's trademark wild costumes.

Cher: The Farewell Tour airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC-TV.

Cher said she wanted her final road show to impress viewers: "We just would sit around and kick around the songs and think, 'How can we make this so pleasing to the eye and also to completely bombard the senses--overload the senses so that you're seeing and feeling and hearing, and there's everything happening around you so that you're kind of sucked into it. You're not just listening to music.'"
