Cher Cheats Death!

CHER has battled back from the brink of death thanks to experimental blood transfusions!

The revolutionary treatments wiped out a virulent virus that was shutting down her kidneys and killing her by inches, sources tell GLOBE.

The 72-year-old superstar — who’d once wasted away to skin and bones — has bounced back in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again after beating depression, chronic fatigue and agonizing pain that forced her into semi-retirement!

“Cher’s recovery and come back have been nothing short of miraculous,” says a source close to the Turn Back Time diva.

“It’s as if she’s literally come back from the dead!”

As GLOBE reported almost one year ago, the entertainment icon was so desperate to rid herself of the vicious virus she resorted to total-body blood transfusions.

“It was all part of a last-ditch effort to stay alive,” says a source.
