Sonny Bono’s old home in Palm Springs is for sale
A Palm Springs estate once owned by the late singer and politician Sonny Bono and his wife, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, has come on the market at $3,995,000.

Bono, who died in 1998 at 62, was known for such hit songs as “I Got You Babe” and “The Beat Goes On” as part of the ‘60s duo Sonny and Cher.
