Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after overdosing.
The 48-year-old is currently receiving care at a medical centre and is fortunate to have survived the incident, TMZ reported today.
Insiders told the outlet that the singer is focusing on 'her son's wellbeing, and she's doing everything she can to get him the help he needs.'
It's unclear what drugs Allman had taken.
Reps for Cher, 79, weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment.

She is also the mother to son Chaz Bono, 56, whom she shares with her late first ex-husband, Sonny Bono.
During a 2014 interview, Elijah admitted to taking drugs, saying he started around age 11.
Cher previously filed for a temporary sole conservatorship over Elijah's finances in 2023, citing that he suffered from 'severe mental health and substance abuse issues.'

'Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk,' court documents read.
Cher, however, withdrew the request in September 2024.

Elijah's reported overdose comes after he was seen looking dishevelled outside the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, California, last month.
He was photographed wearing a torn T-shirt and baggy shorts.
He looked to be sweating and appeared disoriented.
Elijah is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife, Marieangela King, according to court documents obtained by Page Six in April.
She cited 'irreconcilable differences' and requested he pay $US6,000 per month in temporary spousal support.

STM Loves: Luxe Designer Fashion Hire, Plateful Perth, The 7 Stages Of Grieving, Adore Beauty and Re-PLAY
Behind the glass of this Subiaco boutique, there are thousands of dresses: maxis, minis, long-sleeved and strapless, tulle, sequins and everything in between, plus shoes, bags, jewellery and headwear. But it's sustainable fashion with a mission; 100 per cent of the proceeds go to support Vinnies' programs for women, including help for those fleeing family violence. The venture, which stocks designers from Valentino to Aje, Zhivago and Leo Lin, was started by the charity almost nine months ago under the motto of 'women helping women'. Last financial year, Vinnies' emergency helpline took almost 50,000 calls, with almost a third first-time callers. 'There is so much need out there, all sorts of challenges for people in the community, so we wanted to find a new revenue source to help fund, develop and grow our vital programs,' says Zoe Hammond, Vinnies head of designer fashion. There are stylists in-store and four and eight-day hire options. See @luxedesignerfashionhire on Instagram. For the young and the young at heart, this interactive exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia features the playful work of local artist Maxxi Minaxi May. The display has hands-on installations, tactile experiences and bursts of colour to encourage different age groups to work together, and 'challenges the 'greyness' of contemporary life and pushes back against consumerism, schedules and screens'. 'Research highlights the profound impact of multigenerational play and creativity in igniting imagination and deepening relationships with each other and the world,' says Lilly Blue, curator and AGWA learning and creativity research manager. There will also be a special program for the winter school holidays. Re-PLAY runs July 5 until February. See . This month-long event has more than 100 offers to get people into the city in August, with everything from one-night-only premium dining to discounts for great value meals and for the first time, staycation packages with food included. The Premium Plates program includes a Parisian night at Fleur and a six-course Cape to Cape dinner at Cooee, among other high-end restaurants. Sip Sessions offers cocktail classes and guided bar-hopping, Feast involves long-table banquets and chef collaborations and Gourmet Getaways combines a hotel stay with dining. For those on a budget, Bargain Bites has specials for casual dinners and lunches. See . Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company is putting on a season of this groundbreaking play to mark 30 years since it premiered as a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. The 1995 play, by writer/director Wesley Enoch and acclaimed actor Deborah Mailman, is told by a single narrator and weaves together cultural knowledge, memories and experiences. Its production by Yirra Yaakin, starring Shontane Farmer and Shahnee Hunter in alternating shows, is the first time the play has been presented by an Aboriginal theatre company. It will be at Subiaco Arts Centre from July 3-12. See . After years of eagerly awaiting their skincare deliveries (and the obligatory Tim Tam), Perth beauty lovers can finally shop in-person, with Adore Beauty opening two stores. The first opened at Westfield Carousel on June 26, with Westfield Booragoon to follow on July 10. More than 90 brands will be on offer, including a dedicated Korean beauty section, haircare, fragrances, local favourites and global names like La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica. Forget hibernating: from July 7 to August 17 the Leederville Precinct will come alive with this annual food, wine and music festival. Over six weeks The Leederville Hotel, The Garden and Sevo will host a tasty array of dinners, tastings, workshops and parties as a way to showcase talented chefs, winemakers and creatives. From an evening of Boombox Bingo, to a decadent Deep Woods truffle dinner to a Stretch and Sip mozzarella masterclass, there is plenty to draw you out of your dressing gown.

‘You just bow down': What happened when ABC's Bridget Brennan met her childhood idol
ABC News Breakfast host Bridget Brennan had never met her childhood idol, Ernie Dingo, until a script-reading for That Blackfella Show, a 'cheeky, very Blak' hour of variety entertainment the pair is hosting for NAIDOC Week. The Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta woman, who was inspired to pursue a career in journalism by Dingo, along with Stan and Karla Grant, was starstruck. 'Any kid from the '90s grew up watching Ernie Dingo. He's the guy!' says Brennan. 'You forget how much of a sole voice he was for so many years. The path that he has paved for young Aboriginal people is incredible. I mean, you just bow down to Ernie. He's so funny. And he's got so many amazing stories. He lifts the whole team.' Sharing hosting duties is musician and comedian Isaac Compton, a Munanjali, Minjungbul and Wiradjuri man and winner of Nine's reality adventure competition, The Summit. 'I've shed tears of laughter watching Isaac's comedy online,' says Brennan. 'He's so grounded in Community. And he brings those Black in-jokes to a wider audience via TikTok and Instagram. His commentary is so sharp, but he's also a warm, beautiful performer.' The First Nations line-up includes comedians Steph Tisdell, Dane Simpson, Kevin Kropinyeri and Outback Tom; rappers Barkaa and Miss Kaninna; all-female rock band the Ripple Effect; and Eurovision contestants Electric Fields. Two non-Indigenous performers also appear – Jimmy Barnes, and former Bachelor contestant Abbie Chatfield. 'People will be surprised when they see their cameos' says Brennan. 'I think it's great because there are a lot of non-Indigenous Australians with profound, deep connections to Aboriginal Australians. So many non-Indigenous Australians celebrate NAIDOC. It's for everyone.' A team of First Nations people is also working behind the scenes.
