LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

A toned and gorgeous Cher is heading back to the performing arena this May at the age of 61. Toned and beautiful, Cher shared her secrets to staying youthful with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush.

"What are the secrets Cher? Everyone wants to know, because you are flawless at 61?" Billy asked.

"I don't smoke, I don't drink, I eat really good food," she admitted. "I have great genes from my mom and my grandmother. My mom is 80 and looks great, my grandmother is 96!"

Healthy living keeps Cher looking youthful. She says no to Botox, but, is there anything she would do?

"I do what I want to do. If I want to do something I will do it," she said.

Cher is in phenomenal shape as she sets out to perform 200 shows in three years at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

"If I am good enough, the show is going to be unbelievable," she said.

And the concert will feature a special tribute to the Sonny and Cher era.

"Ten years since he passed away — do you still think about him a lot?" Billy asked.

"Yeah, he turns on the lights in my bedroom. I am sure it is him," she said.

The "Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour," was a hit on CBS in the 1970s and a very young Michael Jackson even guest starred.

"What is your memory of having Michael on the 'Sonny and Cher Show?'" Billy asked.

"He was just this little sweet boy, very timid," she said.

"Did you think when looking at him, 'This guy could have the biggest selling album of all time?'" Billy asked.

"I didn't think about it but he so talented I mean it didn't surprise me," she said.
