My apologies. This is dreadful. I’m standing in for today and it completely slipped my mind until late in the morning. Then I had trouble with the software and after almost completing the crossword it froze on me and I had to start all over again.

To make it worse, I was very slow to finish this since I had MINICAB at 5dn.
Triplejumper@1 tells us this crossword is related to Cher.
