Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman Survives Drug Overdose in Joshua Tree
After being found unresponsive, Elijah Blue Allman is hospitalized and recovering—Cher is reportedly by his side, doing all she can.
Los Angeles, June 15: Elijah Blue Allman, the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman, is back in a hospital bed. Again. This time, it happened in Joshua Tree, early morning June 14. He was found unresponsive, the result of what officials are calling a drug overdose.

It’s the latest—and perhaps scariest—turn in a story that’s been unraveling for years.
He Almost Didn’t Make It
Paramedics got to him in time. Barely. According to TMZ and Radar Online, Elijah was rushed to a local hospital. He survived, but it was close. One insider said, “He was very lucky. Too close for comfort.”
He’s alive and recovering, that much is clear. But as of Monday morning, there’s no official update on how long he’ll stay hospitalized—or what the next step is.
Cher’s in It. All the Way.
People around the family say Cher dropped everything to be with him. Again. “She’s devastated but focused,” one person told Page Six. “Doing everything she can to get Elijah the help he needs.”
This isn’t her first intervention. Back in 2023, Cher filed for conservatorship over his finances, saying he was incapable of managing anything due to severe addiction and mental health issues. That petition was pulled in 2024, but insiders always said the crisis was still very real.
“She never stopped worrying,” someone close to her shared. “You don’t stop being a mom because the court says so.”
Elijah’s Been Fighting This War for Decades
Elijah’s history with drugs goes back almost his whole life. He once admitted he started using at age 11. Heroin. Pills. Rehab. Relapse. Rinse, repeat.
In recent weeks, things looked especially grim. He was spotted outside the Chateau Marmont, looking lost—thin, unshaven, wearing the kind of look that says you’ve been out there too long. It wasn’t just one bad day. It looked like a free fall.
Add to that his divorce from Marieangela King—a relationship that’s been off and on for years. She filed papers in April, right after they split in March. And whatever pain he was carrying before… that likely didn’t help.
What Now?
Nobody’s saying much officially. No statement from Cher. Nothing from the hospital either. But the tone from those around them says it all—this was serious. Too serious to brush aside as “another relapse.”
Whether Cher will push again for legal control or long-term care is unclear. But one thing’s certain: she’s not done fighting for him.
A Private Battle, Made Public
It’s easy to forget Elijah came from a legacy of music royalty. Born into spotlight, raised around chaos, and eventually swallowed by both. His band, Deadsy, never broke big. His demons, though? They sure did.
This weekend’s scare is another reminder that addiction doesn’t care who you are, who your parents are, or how much money you have. It just takes. Quietly, and then suddenly.
Elijah lived. This time.
And for Cher—that’s enough to keep hoping.
