(3/28/03, 7 a.m. ET) -- Cher has successfully toughed it out in the entertainment business more than four decades, and she's not about to let the threat of terrorism deter her from going about her daily life. The Oscar-winning and Grammy-winning superstar said she doesn't even give it a second thought.

"I don't think like that, I really don't," she said.

Cher explained this week that she boarded a nearly empty airplane bound for England a month after September 11, 2001, without any fear. The singer added that the ongoing war in Iraq and the risk of retaliatory attacks hasn't changed her opinion about terrorism. "On October the eleventh, I flew to England, and no one was coming--everyone had canceled--so I pretty much had everything to myself," Cher said. "But it just didn't occur to me--I mean, that doesn't really scare me. I'm not over there fighting--I don't really have anything to worry about."

An NBC concert special recorded on the singer's Living Proof tour will air at 9 p.m. ET on April 8. The special, dubbed Cher The Farewell Tour, was taped at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on November 8. The program will feature her recent singles, "Song For The Lonely" and "A Different Kind Of Love Song," as well as her Grammy-winning hit, "Believe," and other material from her legendary career.
