Cher is embroiled in an ongoing legal battle with her son, Elijah Blue Allman. The singer has filed for conservatorship over Elijah after his alleged recent substance abuse issues. Her other son, Chaz Bono, has kept a low profile in the wake of this legal battle but recently made a rare public appearance. Cher, often stylized as the Goddess of Pop, shares Chaz with fellow entertainer Sonny Bono from their marriage that lasted from '64 to '75.
