Living Proof: The Farewell Tour (also referred to as simply The Farewell Tour, later dubbed The Never Can Say Goodbye Tour) was the fifth concert tour by American singer and actress Cher to promote her 24th studio album, Living Proof (2001) and her eighth official compilation album, The Very Best of Cher (2003). The tour officially began on June 14, 2002, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, being initially planned as a 59-date tour across North America. Due to the popularity of the show, Cher decided to extend the tour by adding 100 new shows to North America, while also announcing plans for 2004 of playing in Asia, Europe, and Oceania, mainly in territories she either had never been to or had not visited for many years. The final show of the tour took place at the Hollywood Bowl, in Los Angeles, after a record-breaking 325 dates, grossing well over $200 million and earning Cher the Guinness World Record for the Highest Grossing Tour by a Female Artist, at the time. The tour was planned similarly to her previous 1999–2000 Do You Believe? Tour; the setlist consisted of 21 songs (some changes were made to the set list during the European and Australasian legs), with four video montages and backing dancers and aerialists. Notable also were Cher's dozen costume-changes, designed by Cher's longtime collaborator and friend Bob Mackie.
