Cher Reflects on Tumultuous Marriage to Gregg Allman in New Memoir

The singer opens up about their whirlwind romance, struggles with addiction, and eventual breakup in her latest book.

Cher’s memoir, 'Cher: The Memoir, Part One,' explores her brief and troubled marriage to Allman Brothers Band guitarist Gregg Allman.
The couple married in 1975 shortly after Cher’s divorce from Sonny Bono, though she filed for divorce from Allman just nine days later before temporarily reconciling.
Cher reveals she married Allman after discovering she was pregnant, but their relationship was strained by his heroin addiction and erratic behavior.
The marriage ended for good in 1979 after Allman’s struggles with addiction and a paranoid breakdown that Cher deemed unsafe for their children.
Cher’s reflections highlight her initial naivety about addiction and Allman’s repeated efforts to overcome his struggles, which he openly discussed before his death in 2017.
