The 67-year-old old singer revealed via Twitter Thursday that she has professionally parted ways with longtime costume designer Bob Mackie as he cannot work on her upcoming "Dressed to Kill" tour.

"Telling you something that has broken my heart, the man who made all my costumes since 1972 decided he couldn't do my last tour," she wrote.

"I'm sure Bob can't know how much I miss him. Felt I had to tell u I'm crying."


It appears Mackie, 73, was unable to take on Cher's tour because of scheduling conflicts.

"I tried to convince him to end with me, but he had many reasons as 2 why he couldn't do it. 2 many obligations not enough time even 2 do 1."

Mackie is the mastermind behind some of Cher's most iconic and elaborate costumes during her performances over the last four decades.

Despite Cher's deep sadness over Mackie's exit, she did confirm she snagged a "talented and brave" new designer for "Dressed to Kill," which kicks off on March 22.

"Thank god I have a lovely man & wonderful designer!! Hugh Durant," she said.

"We will persevere," she added.
