Cher Files for Conservatorship of Son Elijah Blue Allman Citing Substance Abuse Battle
In a surprising turn of events, music icon Cher has filed for temporary legal conservatorship of her son, Elijah Blue Allman. The petition, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, states that Allman is currently battling ongoing substance abuse issues.
Cher is seeking to become the sole conservator of Allman’s estate, claiming that he is incapable of managing his assets due to severe mental health and substance abuse problems. As the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, Elijah Blue Allman has a notable background in the music industry. He was the lead singer of the band Deadsy.
Last year, Allman’s estranged wife made allegations of kidnapping against Cher, which the singer vehemently denied. Cher’s recent legal moves come just after her public celebration of Britney Spears’ liberation from her own conservatorship.
A hearing has been scheduled for March 6, 2024, where the court will further discuss the matter. This news comes as Cher recently made a remarkable comeback on the Billboard Hot 100 after a 22-year absence with her Christmas song, “DJ Play a Christmas Song.”
The success of the song has solidified Cher’s position as the first soloist to earn a new No. 1 on a Billboard songs chart during each decade from the 1960s through the 2020s. While Cher’s music career continues to flourish, she remains concerned about the well-being of her son, Elijah Blue Allman.
It is clear that the singer is determined to ensure that Allman receives the necessary help and support to overcome his ongoing battle with substance abuse. As the legal process unfolds, many are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the upcoming hearing in 2024, where a decision will be made regarding the conservatorship.
Cher’s advocacy for individuals trapped in conservatorships has gained significant attention, especially following the recent developments in Britney Spears’ case. With her influential voice and notable success in the music industry, Cher continues to make an impact on and off the stage.
