Police sources confirmed that drugs were found at the property, and the investigation remains ongoing. Insiders say Cher is deeply concerned about her son’s health and is doing everything in her power to support him. “Like any mother, her only priority is the well-being of her child,” a source said.
Elijah Blue Allman, who has spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction, revealed in a 2014 interview that he started using drugs at the age of just 11. The 79-year-old singer Cher previously filed for conservatorship over Elijah, seeking control of his finances, arguing that he was “substantially unable to manage his financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.” The conservatorship dispute was ultimately resolved amicably a few months later.
