Cher added that their nuptials were “arranged within a few days.” The artist told two of her friends and they ended up coming with the couple in Las Vegas for a ceremony that was “over in minutes.” Cher and Allman, who died in 2017 at the age of 69, posed for photos then flew “straight back home.”

Cher has revealed why her marriage to late singer Gregg Allman only lasted nine days. In her new memoir, Cher: Part One, the 78-year-old actor reflected on marrying Allman in 1975, days after learning she was pregnant with their child, Elijah Blue Allman.

Cher revealed that she impulsively married Allman during an impromptu wedding in Vegas after discovering she was pregnant. But the morning after the wedding, the singer says she found "white powder" in Allman's belongings despite him promising her to stay sober, which heavily contributed to her decision to have an abortion.
