Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman: everything you need to know

Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman has had a tumultuous life, struggling with substance abuse and a strained relationship with his mother.

Elijah Blue Allman, son of legendary singer Cher and rock musician Gregg Allman, has lived a tumultuous life in the spotlight. Born in 1976, Elijah's early years were marked by his parents' divorce and an absent father figure. After attending a boarding school in Maine, he pursued a music career and formed the band Deadsy. Despite moderate success, his personal struggles with substance abuse and Lyme disease have overshadowed his musical achievements.

Elijah's relationship with his famous mother has been rocky, with Cher's lack of support during his battle with Lyme disease and struggles with addiction. His marriage to British singer Marieangela King, known as Queenie, has also been fraught with challenges. Cher has accused King of being a "destructive presence" in Elijah's life, leading to a conservatorship request to manage his financial resources due to mental health and substance abuse issues.

The ongoing saga of Elijah Blue Allman's personal life has played out in the public eye, with Cher's attempts to intervene and support her son being met with resistance. Despite his battles, Elijah has remained sober since 2008 and continues to navigate the complexities of his relationship with his famous mother and the challenges of managing his mental health and substance abuse issues.
