“I have gone up so high and then fallen down so low. You just think, well, I would do something else, but I don't know how to do anything else."

Cher and Sonny, both singers, had a turbulent marriage that ended in divorce in 1975, after 11 years of marriage. He died in 1998 due to a skiing accident. They share one child – Chaz Bono, 50.

In an interview in 2010, Cher described her ex-husband as a “huge womanizer.”

“I was trusting and faithful with him. The truth is, I'm not so sure we should’ve ever been husband and wife,” she told Parade Magazine.

“He didn’t want me to grow up or have any freedom. I wasn’t allowed to do anything except work. We worked more than we lived.”

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

During their marriage, would struggle with suicidal thoughts, Cher revealed, “I thought about jumping off a hotel balcony. Then I thought, No, I can just leave him.”

She told Sonny about her plan. She recalled him telling her, “‘If you leave me, America will hate you and you won’t have a job.’ I went, ‘You know what, Sonny? I just don’t care!’”

While it was hard for her to remember her “painful” marriage, she produced her new show to reveal things about her that not many people know. The show follows her early life and career.
