Cher's Son Elijah Allman Released After Overdose Scare
Cher's Son Elijah Blue Allman Discharged from Hospital After Near-Fatal Drug Overdose
In a shocking turn of events, Cher's 48-year-old son Elijah Blue Allman has been discharged from the hospital after a harrowing drug overdose that left him fighting for his life. The troubled star's brush with mortality comes as no surprise to those familiar with his tumultuous past.
According to sources close to the family, Elijah was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after an emergency call was made to 911. The authorities were called to a residence in Landers, where they found Elijah "acting erratically" and administering drugs. Deputies from the Morongo Basin Station responded to the scene, locating drugs inside the home and transporting Elijah to the hospital.
TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Elijah is currently recovering at home under the care of his family, with no further details available regarding the specific drugs he was using or any potential charges against him. A source close to the Allman family revealed that Elijah is "very lucky to have survived" and that Cher is "focused on doing everything she can to get him the help he needs."
This latest development in Elijah's storied history with addiction comes as a stark reminder of his long-standing struggle with substance abuse. In a candid 2014 interview, Elijah opened up about his teenage years spent using drugs like weed, ecstasy, and heroin to cope with his troubled past.
"I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and that's when you turn to those kinds of drugs," he revealed, detailing close calls and moments of "feeling at the edge of mortality."
Elijah's addiction has been a source of concern for his family and friends over the years. In 2024, Cher petitioned to have Elijah placed under a conservatorship, citing her fears that he would squander his inheritance from his late father, rock legend Gregg Allman.
A judge ultimately refused Cher's request, ruling that she had not given Elijah sufficient notice of the court action and had failed to share confidential information with him about his case. The decision was met with a mix of relief and worry for Elijah's well-being.
As Elijah begins his road to recovery, fans and loved ones can only hope that this latest setback marks a turning point in his journey towards sobriety. With Cher's unwavering support, the 48-year-old may finally find the help he needs to overcome his demons and start anew.
