Cher Wins Royalties Battle but Must Pay Her Own $1 Million Legal Bill

Cher won her royalties lawsuit against Mary Bono, Sonny Bono's widow, last year, but a court has ruled she must cover her own legal fees, totalling around $1 million. The judgment validated Cher's claims but did not order the losing party to reimburse her costs. The case centred on royalty payments tied to music from her partnership with Sonny Bono.
