Elijah Blue Allman 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.

DailyMail.com 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 DailyMail.com: ‘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 DailyMail.com 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.’
