Cher has admitted that she isn't a fan of being called a "legend".

The 67-year-old singer has a lengthy career of hits and as a result of her age, she is often referred to as a stalwart of the scene.

However, she told Elle that words like "icon" mean nothing to her.

Cher said: "I hate that word. Legend, icon, diva. I hate all those f*cking words. They’re meaningless. I prefer Cher.”

The singer was appearing in the magazine as part of their Women In Music 2014 feature.

The publication also spoke to the likes of Lily Allen, Ariana Grande and Warpaint as they celebrate female musicians.
