Cher’s son has reportedly been hospitalized after overdosing Saturday morning. According to sources familiar with the matter, Cher and Greg Allman’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, 48, was brought to a hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after an overdose. Sources told TMZ that he was lucky to still be alive, with another source telling the outlet that Cher is concerned for her son’s well-being and is doing all she can to help him. Allman has previously been candid about his substance abuse, revealing in a 2014 interview that he started taking drugs when he was 11 years old, gradually progressing to hard drugs heroin and opiates to “escape all the things in my past.” He also said he had “some close calls” with overdosing and “some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.” In 2023, Cher filed for conservatorship of her son’s estate, claiming that any money he received would “immediately be spent on drugs” and put his life “at risk.” Court documents obtained by Page Six showed that Cher said that Allman was dealing with “severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” The “Believe” singer ultimately dropped her bid for conservatorship. TMZ didn’t know what drugs Allman allegedly took.
