Cher's Representative Dismisses 'Suicide' Story

In a new National Enquirer cover story, sources and friends close to Cher tell the publication they fear she'll commit suicide because she's ravaged by an illness and wracked with depression.

The insiders go on to allege Cher is exhausted by a family feud as she battles the energy-sapping Epstein-Barr virus, and the publication suggests the singer has become a physically and emotionally fragile recluse.

But a representative for Cher tells GossipCop.com, "She's in great spirits and good physical health."

Cher is currently in Brazil, where she will receive a major award in the coming days.
