SharkmanthaC 114,693 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Cher Sues Mary Bono for $1 Million Over Missing Royalties Singer claims ex-husband and former singing partner’s widow is attempting to “terminate” Cher’s 50% stake in duo’s catalog. Cher filed a lawsuit against Mary Bono, the widow of Cher’s former singing partner and ex-husband Sonny Bono, over the rights to Sonny & Cher’s songs, including hits like “I Got You Babe” and “The Beat Goes On.” In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday at a Los Angeles district court and obtained by Rolling Stone, Cher claims that Bono’s heirs have ceased paying her royalties on Sonny & Cher’s music, even though — as part of Cher and Bono’s 1978 divorce agreement — the singer was entitled to a 50% stake of their music. While Cher (through her Veritas Trust) and the Bono heirs (through the Bono Collection Trust), were in partnership over the duo’s songs and publishing rights for the decades following Sonny Bono’s 1998 death in a skiing accident, that changed in recent years when Mary Bono allegedly attempted to use “a wholly inapplicable statutory termination provision of the Copyright Act of 1976” to terminate Cher’s 50% stake in the Sonny & Cher catalog.
