Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman Hospitalized

Elijah Blue Allman, Cher‘s son with songwriter Gregg Allman, was hospitalized this weekend after authorities found him “acting erratically” in Southern California.

According to Los Angeles Times, Allman was rushed to the hospital on June 14. Law enforcement had responded to a report that a man had been “acting erratically” in a home in the Mojave Desert. In a statement shared with People, officials stated that he “was being evaluated by medical personnel” and that deputies “located drugs inside the home.” Officials said the investigation is ongoing. TMZ first reported over the weekend that Allman had allegedly overdosed via sources familiar with the situation.

Reps for Cher and Allman did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s requests for comment.

In late 2023, Cher and Allman had begun a court battle over Cher’s request for a conservatorship over her son. She had been concerned over his struggle with addiction and mental health, which had led to period of psychosis. At the time of her request, Cher had stated it was “urgently needed” as she believed Allman was “currently unable to manage his assets.” In September, the pair had reached a private settlement after agreeing to a “pause” in the battle back in May.

After the ruling, Allman’s law firm, Cage & Miles, issued a statement, saying at the time: “This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.”
