Harrowing new details have emerged in Cher’s troubled son Elijah Blue Allman’s reported overdose in Southern California over the weekend.

The 48-year-old youngest child of the renowned performer, whom she had with the late Gregg Allman, ‘was urgently taken to a hospital in Joshua Tree, California, following an overdose earlier on Saturday morning.’

A spokesperson from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department informed DailyMail.com: ‘On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at approximately 1:25 p.m., deputies from the Morongo Basin Station were dispatched to a residence in the 2300 block of Cambria Avenue in Landers due to a male individual’s erratic behavior.

‘Upon arrival, deputies found Elijah Allman, 48, being assessed by emergency medical staff. Drugs were found within the home, and Allman was taken to the hospital. The investigation is currently ongoing.’

A source added that Allman remains hospitalized and his ‘current condition is unclear.’ 

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Cher for comment and has yet to hear back.

It is unknown what drugs Allman was using – with an insider adding ‘Allman is  ‘very lucky to have survived.

At this time, his mother is focused on ‘doing everything she can to get him the help he needs’ and only concerned for her son’s well-being.

Back in 2014, Allman revealed he began using drugs, like weed and ecstasy, at just 11 and detailed some close calls when it came to overdosing.

‘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. ‘[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 revealed he had ‘some close calls and 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.’

The Oscar winner filed for a temporary sole conservatorship over Elijah’s finances in 2023,  arguing  he suffered from ‘severe mental health and substance abuse issues.’

‘Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk,’ the court documents read.

Cher withdrew the request in September 2024, nine months after he had filed court documents stating he was sober and had been attending AA-type meetings. 

Allman’s father, Gregg, suffered from substance abuse issues which doctors believe lead to his death from liver cancer in 2012.

His late uncle Duane Allman also struggled with drugs before being killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971. 

Allman’s reported overdose comes after he was seen looking very sunburned, sweaty and disoriented outside the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in May. 

He is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife, Marieangela King.

She has cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ and requested he pay $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support.
