Pop singer Cher has revealed that she has spent a small fortune on plastic surgery.

The artist, who has previously described herself as a "poster girl" for cosmetic surgery, said that the procedures were necessary for her career, the Daily Mail reports.

She told the newspaper that in her career as an entertainer, "becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing".

Cher, 61, has had a facelift, breast augmentation and work on her teeth in a bid to stay looking youthful.
