Singer Cher has parted ways with her longtime costume designer Bob Mackie, who had been working with her since 1972.
Mackie, 73, who is known for his flamboyant styles, feathers, and beads, would not be able to accompany the 67-year-old singer on her upcoming 'Dressed to Kill tour', which kicks off from March 22 in Phoenix, reported E! online.
"Telling you something that has broken my heart. The man who made all my costumes since 1972 decided he couldn't do my last tour. No matter how disappointed any of you are, you don't know my grief," Cher said.
