Elijah Blue Allman, the son of Cher and Gregg Allman, has been hospitalized following an apparent drug overdose.
Allman, 48, was admitted to a medical facility on Saturday, June 14, after San Bernardino Sheriff's Department deputies responded to a Landers, California, residence regarding a man who was "acting erratically," the department said in a June 16 statement to USA TODAY. When they arrived, Allman was being evaluated by medical personnel. Deputies later found drugs inside the home, according to the department.
An investigation is ongoing. TMZ was the first to report the news.
USA TODAY has reached out to Cher's representatives for comment.
The incident comes a year and a half after Cher filed a request for a conservatorship for Allman, alleging he suffers from "severe mental health and substance abuse issues." According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in December 2023, the Grammy Award-winning singer claimed that her son was unable to manage his financial assets because of his alleged health issues.
