Lead

"despite being certified by both" → despite being certified gold by both
I would add how many copies has sold worldwide
To further promote the album, Cher embarked on the record-breaking Living Proof: The Farewell Tour in June 2002. → You also mention a couple of promotional TV shows in the article I would add that here as well.

Background

"If you liked Believe, you're going to love the new one, because the new one is so much fun. I mean, I never get — I'm never, like, oh, saying, you know, oh, this song I'm doing, this album is so terrific, or this I'm doing is so terrific. But the on this new album is so terrific. I just — I love it → use your own words more often.
"with musicians " → with several musicians
"It's been hard for me my whole life, because people have thought I was cool or thought I was just a terrible waste of time. But now a lot of people who wouldn't have given me the time of day are submitting songs that are really brilliant. I'm having a chance to have great songs and great producers — I'm so lucky" → same as the first point

Music and lyrics

The original version for Living Proof opens with "The Music's No Good Without You". → International instead of original and source.
" The song is a "lost love anthem", as Cher sings "The music's no good without you, the music's no good at all"" → source is a blog, replace with another more reliable one.
"The fifth song "Rain, Rain" is a "dressed-down" track with "electronic gurgles and aquatic vocal renderings", in which "listeners get a glimmer of Cher's husky vocals"." → source
"Some doubts regarding the Daily Vault source reliability.
"original version" → international version
"Eighth song" → The eighth song
Again Daily Vault is a questionable source.
"electronic gurgles and aquatic vocal renderings" → not on source give. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion

http://www1.excite.com/home/entertainment/celeb/liz_smith/0,13969,05_01_2002_1_9,00.html → unreliable source
Late Show with David Letterman → source?
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, → source?

It's sourced along with the Oprah Winfrey Show reference.

It was also → The single was also
Performance, performance and more performance → use sing, staged other words
"The tour gave Cher the opportunity to perform in new territories in Europe and North America, including her first tour to reach New Zealand. " → source?
($306,568,410 in 2016 dollars)[36] → source in the end of the sentence next to the Forbes one.
"The concert was broadcast on NBC from American Airlines Arena, in Miami, Florida, during Thanksgiving weekend" → source doesn't back which concert and this sentence is poorly constructed.

Done

Singles

""The Music's No Good Without You" was released as the album's lead single worldwide in November 2001, except for the United States. " → source?
" It was a success in the United Kingdom, debuting at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, making Cher one of the few artists to have a top 10 hit in five consecutive decades. The song managed to become a top ten hit in Canada" → same as previous + not on source given
" It also reached the top twenty in Canada," → not on source given
""Alive Again" was released as a third and final European single from Living Proof in June 2002. " → source?
""A Different Kind of Love Song", the second American single, " → same as previous
"The third and final American singles were "When the Money's Gone"/"Love One Another" and released in February 2003. " → same as previous
Although "When the Money's Gone" topped → Although the former topped

Only one small thing here could you add a note saying that the Canadian Hot 100 used to be "Canadian Singles Chart" and it's now depicted on Billboard as "Canadian Digital Song Sales"? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:50, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception

"Post-Tribune newspaper was also positive," → In a similar review, Post-Tribune newspaper felt the album...
""Cher's remarkable alto holds sway throughout. [...] Her singing is in full control and in better form than it was during her early days. You want living proof that time can stand still? Then this is an excellent example"" → use your own words more often.
Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber was positive in his review → Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber gave a positive feedback
Hot Press praised → Hot Press exalted
"peppy dance album that spouts warm sentiments and reverberating sounds to keep you going all night long", however noted that "the power of the album's punch loses its luster each time the auto-tuner kicks in, contorting Cher's deep, sexy voice into some kind of canned electronic robot dialect"" → use your own words more often.
"more a three-bedroom bungalow with a nice bit of garden out back and a Volvo in the drive, but definitely no garage" → I don't get it, could you please use your own words to explain this?

Done

Commercial performance

or three weeks on the chart. → it should be redirected for the album and not only her main page.
", the album fared considerably better," → did it? only for the peak as it only spent one week there. I like the sentence use it in another country like Germany, making the contrast with France.

Personnel

Use {{spaced ndash}}
You missed producers and songwriters. I would advise taking this information from the liner notes, AllMusic has been having some troubles lately with the lack of information and some problems with labels since it was acquired by Complex.
