While Sonny passed in 1998, according to Rolling Stone Cher still isn’t fully financial free of him. Despite securing a victory in her Sonny And Cher royalty lawsuit against Bono’s widow Mary, opposing counsel have gone on to argue that Cher isn’t “entitled” to the finances.

I figured I’d plead insanity … Then I’d get a book deal and my own show,” Cher alleges Sonny told her after admitting to thinking about killing her.

Bono, who died in 1998, was married to Cher from 1964 to 1975, and co-hosted two former variety shows with her in the 1970s.
