Cher Wins Lawsuit Against Sonny Bono's Widow Over Song Royalties

Cher won her lawsuit against Mary Bono, the widow of Sonny Bono, in May 2024.

Sonny & Cher were one of the most popular duos in America during the ‘60s and ‘70s, scoring famous hits like “Baby Don’t Go,” “The Beat Goes On” and “I Got You Babe,” while also becoming television stars. According to Billboard, Cher and Sonny agreed in their divorce proceedings on a 50/50 split of the publishing revenues from material they had recorded together. The singer -- who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year -- is reportedly owed more than $400,000 in past royalties that have accrued since the lawsuit began.
