RECLUSE CHER DYING FROM BROKEN HEART

In tortured funk after breakup with young love

HEARTBROKEN Cher is so shattered by her failed romance with boy toy fiancé Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, the 77-year-old diva has holed up in her Malibu mansion, leaving family and friends fearing she’s dying from a broken heart, insiders say.

The Believe songbird got so “completely caught up” with the 37-year-old music mogul, their sudden split “left a big hole and she’s on a downward spiral that’s got everyone worried,” tattles a tipster. “She’s gone from being the life of the party to a total recluse.”

Says another spy, “The old Cher is back — the one who stays up all night and sleeps all day. She’s not bothering to wash her hair and she goes around in the same clothes as if she just doesn’t care. That’s not like her at all.
