That's very interesting because (I think) the Cher's voice is very distinctive so unless she's in it- which by all accounts she's not- given who she is, she ain't exactly going to be doing backing vocals. She'll have an actual whole sing to sing.
Possibly as the final song as the credits roll?

A bit more info:
Hollywood star Cher is preparing to be a 'dancing Queen' in the sequel to Abba movie musical Mamma Mia!
The Oscar-winning actress is in London rehearsing choreography sequences for the film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
The Mail can reveal she will appear in two song and dance sequences in the follow up to the 2008 Mamma Mia! Movie, which starred Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper and Christine Baranski, all of whom are in the new film.
Singer and Hollywood star Cher (pictured) is set to make her return to the big screen with an appearance in the Mamma Mia sequel : Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again
Lily James is also in the film as the younger version of Donna, Streep's character.
The cast has been shooting on locations in Croatia but they will join Cher on the dance floor set up at Shepperton Studios later this week.
Cher's role and names of the Abba numbers she'll sing are being kept under wraps.
'Cher's our secret weapon. It'll spoil the fun if we give anything away,' an executive connected to the film explained last night.
Cher, 71, has not been in front of film cameras for several years, although she has been busy touring and collaborating on developing a Broadway musical based on her life and career.
The 71-year-old Moonstruck star will join Meryl Streep (pictured centre left), Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters (centre right), Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper and Christine Baranski (left), who are all starring in the second film
Her Oscar was for best actress in Moonstruck in 1988.
The stage show will feature her signature chart-toppers such as I Got You Babe, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves and The Shoop Shoop Song.
Cher revealed on her Twitter feed that she has been rehearsing dance numbers but didn't disclose the name of the project.
However, she happily admitted to being in the UK where, she noted, 'It's always felt like home.'
Mamma Mia! started out on stage in London eighteen years ago where it remains a West End favourite.
Judy Craymer the producer who helped create the show also backed the 2008 film which took one billion dollars at the box office worldwide.
Cher will be performing two song and dance numbers, which she is currently rehearsing in London

Maybe she’ll be playing Aunt Sophia that Sophie was named after.

According to BBC news, she’s tweeted FERNANDO followed by a thinking emoji.
That wasn’t featured in the last film, was it?

You were indeed spot on! Has anyone ever mentioned to you that you bear an uncanny resemblance to Ol Parker? Come on, admit it... |

Um, okay?
No. No one has ever said that. (In truth) I had to Google him because I actually had no idea who he was/is.
Don't really think so, but thanks for the compliment.
(Possibly/ at a stretch) with out my moustache- Mr. Bean

There’s a joke in there somewhere, anthony40. It’s at times like this I wish I’d used that (cheesy) wink emoji...  |

(Possibly) Lost in Translation I fear.
If ever we meet, you can explain it to me.

Just been scrolling through Judy Craymer's instagram (which is pretty much all Mamma Mia 2 stuff) and there's a picture on there of her with Celia Imrie with the tag 'The fabulous Celia Imrie on the set of #MammaMia2' - maybe she's playing Aunt Sophia? |

linkSo Long, Why Did It Have To Be Me?, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, He Is Your Brother, Elaine, Happy Hawaii to name but a few Oh yes to all of the above. I’d love a bit of ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ in there...and ‘As Good As New’. I could go on, but mustn’t! Julie Walters has confirmed a couple of songs in a recent interview in the Liverpool Echo: “I sing Angeleyes and I’ve Been Waiting For You with Christine Baranski and Amanada Seyfried, who plays Sophie the daughter in the first one, the three of us do those two." She also said that Dancing Queen is in it again link

HUGE plot spoiler for the film..... {Spoiler - click to view}
Donna Dies I had read this "spoiler" before. Sounds a bit strange... {Spoiler - click to view}
But sounds logical with flaixback parts (they remember Donna). And also Benny Anderson says that MM2 will more a prequel than a sequel.
Meryl Streep has recorded short time in comparation with Lily James (young Donna).
Streep is the light of the movie. I have some friends very fans of Mamma Mia movie and they aren't very excited with prequel part. |

Trailer has leaked on twitter. Looks fairly similar in style to the original. Lily James sounds amazing, and Cher makes a memorable entrance as Granny.

I get the feeling it's going to do a lot less than the first film although it'd be still a success if it did half of the film.
