Sonny Bono: Hours
built 656 days ago
Pierini said the family waited at the bottom of the trail for two hours and contacted authorities when Bono failed to show up. Resort officials said they first contacted the operators of shuttle buses that run between the mountain at local hotels and when there was still no trace of Bono, ski patrols mounted a search.

By the end of the 1960s, broke and no longer in the media spotlights, Sonny developed their on-stage act into a nightclub performance. By 1971, the act had become so popular, they were asked to bring their talents to television, starring in CBS's Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. The one-hour variety show, written almost entirely by Sonny, was a mass-market hit, playing Sonny's buffoon character against Cher's smart aleck TV persona. Often pitting himself as the butt of the joke, Sonny continued to write the popular hit show until Cher left him in 1974. They would divorce later the same year.
