Cher has won a years-long legal dispute against Mary Bono, the widow of her ex-husband Sonny Bono, over unpaid royalties from their musical catalog. A federal judge ruled in favor of Cher, determining that she is owed approximately $418,000 in royalties. The lawsuit centered on royalties for songs such as 'I Got You Babe' and 'The Beat Goes On,' which Cher had stopped receiving in 2021. The court's decision, issued by Judge Kronstadt, brings an end to the protracted legal battle over the terms of Cher's divorce settlement with Sonny Bono.
