IT was a terrifying sight. On Sept. 14, staff members at L.A.’s famed Chateau Marmont hotel discovered the seemingly lifeless body of Elijah Blue Allman facedown on the pavement near the entrance. According to reports, Elijah — the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman — had been living at the hotel for six months and was often spotted looking strung out. Workers were able to get him inside, where he was revived. Two days later, police arrived and escorted the troubled musician out of the building.
An insider tells Star Cher had Elijah picked up by local authorities and taken to a rehab in Pasadena, Calif. “Elijah hadn’t been doing well,” the insider says. “When word got to Cher that he’d been found unconscious outside the hotel, she staged an extreme intervention and called 911 and had him moved to a treatment facility.” It’s just the latest incident in an ongoing, 30-year struggle to save Elijah, 47, from the throes of addiction. In fact, new bombshell court papers filed by Elijah’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, allege that in November 2022, Cher, 77, went so far as to have her younger son kidnapped from a New York City hotel by four security guards and sent to rehab. “Cher is desperate to help her son,” says the insider. “She’s terrified he might die if she doesn’t do something drastic.”
