Cher and Allman were married from 1975 to 1979. Together, they have a son, Elijah, who was born in 1976.

The two collaborated on an album, Two the Hard Way, which was released under the name “Allman and Woman” in 1977 by Warner Bros.

Playing music lifted him up and kept him going during the toughest of times,” a statement on Allman’s official website said.
