Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman is released from hospital after overdose
Cher 's troubled son Elijah Blue Allman has been discharged from the hospital following his drug overdose one week ago. Allman, 48, whom the 79-year-old music icon shared with the late Gregg Allman, was released from a Southern California facility and is recovering at home, according to TMZ. reached out to Cher's reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back. The legendary performer's younger of two children 'was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after overdosing earlier Saturday morning,' TMZ reported on June 14. A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokesman told 'On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at about 1:25 p.m., deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in the 2300 block of Cambria Avenue, in Landers, for a male subject acting erratically. 'When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing.' It is unknown what drugs Allman was using, with an insider adding last week that he is 'very lucky to have survived.' It was said last week that Cher, full name Cherilyn Sarkisian, is focused on 'doing everything she can to get him the help he needs' and only concerned for her son's well-being. In 2014 Allman revealed he began using drugs, like weed and ecstasy, at just 11-years-old and detailed some close calls. 'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he told ET at the time. He added, '[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn't have that at that point, I don't know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.' Allman also recalled 'some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.' 'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he explained. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course the wrong things can happen. 'The wrong combination of things can happen and you can just slip into the abyss. I knew it was wrong and I knew that I was very unsatisfied with life at that point.' In early 2024 a judge threw out Cher's bid to have Elijah placed in a conservatorship controlled by her. She had petitioned LA Superior Court to appoint her as Elijah's temporary conservator, arguing that his drug addiction, plus mental and physical health issues, made him unable to manage the $120,000 a year he gets from a trust fund set up for him by his late father, rock star Gregg Allman. Cher said she feared he would spend his $10,000 a month payouts on drugs, putting his life in jeopardy. Judge Jessica Uzcategui refused to appoint Cher as conservator, saying that the star's attorneys had not given Elijah enough notice of the court action and refused to share confidential information with him about his case. After the brief hearing, when asked how he felt about the result, Elijah just smiled and shook his head. Cher's attorney, Gabrielle Vidal, asked the judge to waive the usual five-day notice required to inform a person of a proposed conservatorship, arguing that 'absent a (conservatorship) order today' distribution of money to Elijah from his trust fund could put him 'in a life or death position.'

Cher's son hospitalized for erratic behavior as drugs found in residence
Elijah Blue Allman, the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman, has been hospitalized for demonstrating erratic behavior. On Saturday, the 48-year-old was taken to a hospital in San Bernardino County after authorities received a disturbance call. "Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically," authorities from the Bernardino County Sheriff's office said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing." When reached by Fox News Digital, a representative for Cher could not provide additional details. Elijah's estranged wife, Marieangela King Allman, said he remains committed to sobriety, despite the setback. "While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves," she said in a statement to People. "Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles — but it is important to recognize that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat," Marieangela continued. "Despite the assumptions that often color how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose." "I want to state, without hesitation, that I will always root for him," she added. "My support is steadfast and comes from a place of deep respect for the person he is and the resilience he continues to show." In 1975, Cher and Gregg married three days after she divorced her husband and singing partner, Sonny Bono. Their marriage was tumultuous from the start: Cher requested a divorce just nine days after their Las Vegas wedding, although she dismissed the suit a month later. Together they released a widely panned duets album under the name "Allman and Woman." They had one child together, Elijah Blue, and Cher filed for legal separation in 1977. In his memoir, Gregg said he spent years overindulging in women, drugs and alcohol before getting sober in the mid-1990s. He said that after getting sober, he felt "brand new" at the age of 50. "I never believed in God until this," he said in an interview with The Associated Press in 1998. "I asked him to bring me out of this or let me die before all the innings have been played. Now I have started taking on some spiritualism." However, after all the years of unhealthy living he ended up with hepatitis C which severely damaged his liver. He underwent a liver transplant in 2010. Gregg, a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band, passed away in 2017 at age 69.

EXCLUSIVE Explosive feud between Cher and her son's wife... as heartbreaking reason for his overdose is revealed
Cher is embroiled in an explosive feud with her son Elijah Blue Allman's estranged wife - and, following his reported relapse and hospitalization, tensions have only escalated. Insiders have laid bare the politics behind the drama, which they claim is tearing the family apart. Allman is currently divorcing his wife, Marieangela 'Queenie' King, who has supported him throughout multiple legal battles. The pop icon is already blaming 'Marieangela like she always does when things go wrong', an inside source, who accused Cher of never taking 'responsibility', told the Daily Mail. Allman, 48, the son of Cher, 79, and her second husband, the late guitarist Gregg Allman, has struggled with addiction for many years. Cher is also mother to trans son Chaz Bono, 56, from her first marriage to Sonny Bono. His reported overdose and hospitalization comes only a month after the musician appeared to hit rock bottom. In exclusive footage obtained by the Daily Mail, a zombie-like Allman was seen staggering outside the star-studded Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. 'His overdose was ignited by the pain of Father's Day because he loved his dad more than anything on earth and he was the only person who he felt he could trust,' the insider told the Daily Mail. A source told TMZ that the performer's youngest child 'was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after overdosing earlier Saturday morning'. It remained unknown what drugs were involved but that he was 'receiving the best care possible'. Allman has returned to living at the famed Chateau Marmont, where he was found passed out in 2023 - a moment that prompted Cher to step in. He had previously been locked in a court battle with his mother after she tried, and failed, to secure a conservatorship. This is just the latest development in a years-long bitter feud between Cher and King. It reportedly began when King and Allman became engaged in December 2013. At the time, Cher, the Believe hitmaker, allegedly refused to congratulate the couple. According to a source: 'Elijah and Cher ended up in a legal battle when she tried to get a conservatorship over him in court, claiming he wasn't capable of making his own decisions. 'From the beginning, she had major issues with Marieangela and did everything she could to come between them, even secretly sending Elijah to a facility in Mexico without telling anyone. 'He was in terrible shape, and it was Marieangela who had to fly down to save him.' Speaking to the Daily Mail in February 2014, Allman said of the dynamic: 'You've got two strong women, two big bulls in the pen. I think there's a respect and I think they butt heads a little bit.' Cher is 'already blaming Elijah's wife, Marieangela [King], like she always does when things go wrong', said a source who accused the pop icon of never taking 'responsibility' Ever since the Mexico incident, Cher and Marieangela's issues have frequently come to a head, with the insider confirming that 'their relationship only got more strained after that'. Marieangela, 37, opposed the conservatorship, and stood by her husband's side during the ensuing messy public dispute. The couple have long had a tumultuous relationship. King filed for divorce from Allman on April 7, citing 'irreconcilable differences', and seeking $6,000 a month in spousal support and 'exclusive use of [their] 2017 Toyota Prius', according to court documents previously seen by the Daily Mail. Cher and her troubled son have been embroiled in their own legal battle, with 'long-standing tension over Elijah's inheritance and how much control Cher has tried to keep over his finances', the insider said. She had argued in her petition to the court that Elijah's drug addiction made him unable to manage his trust fund. The Oscar winner filed for a temporary sole conservatorship over his finances in 2023, arguing that he suffered from 'severe mental health and substance abuse issues', but ultimately withdrew the petition in September 2024. 'Elijah was doing better for a while, trying to get clean and take back his independence but he became more isolated over time,' our source said. In a 2014 interview, Allman revealed he began using drugs, like marijuana and ecstasy, at the age of 11, and said he'd been near to overdosing several times. 'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he told ET. '[Heroin] kind of saved me… If I didn't have that at that point, I don't know what I would have done… You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.' Allman also revealed that he had 'some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality'. Now, it appears that he is struggling again. 'The people who truly cared, especially Marieangela, were pushed out,' the insider said, 'and when things got bad again, he had no one left to turn to.' The Daily Mail reached out to a representative for Cher but has received no response.

He is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife, Marieangela King. She has cited 'irreconcilable differences' and requested he pay $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support.
