    Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman has been arrested

    The 49-year-old musician - Cher's son with late rock musician Gregg Allman - faces two counts of simple assault, a criminal trespassing charge, criminal threatening and disorderly conduct after allegedly causing a disturbance at an elite prep school in New Hampshire.


    Police were called to St. Paul's School in Concord on Friday (27.02.26) amid reports of an unwanted guest.

    A spokesperson for the Concord Police Department told TMZ that the school reported an unwanted guest, who was allegedly "causing a disturbance and acting belligerently".

    Allman is not believed to have any connection to the school.

    He was detained by police and processed at Merrimack County Jail, before being released without bail but with an agreement to appear at future court dates.

    Believe singer Cher, 79, has not publicly addressed the incident.

    Elijah's arrest comes just months after he was rushed to hospital after "acting erratically" amid reports of a drugs overdose.

    Allman was taken to a California medical facility on 14 June after police were called to his house, and "deputies located drugs inside the home".

    After Elijah was admitted to hospital, his estranged wife, Marieangela King Allman, shared her "steadfast" support amid his "personal challenges".

    She told PEOPLE: "While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves.

    "Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles - but it is important to see that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat.

    "Despite the assumptions [and] how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.

    "I want to state, without hesitation, that I will always root for him. My support is steadfast and comes from a place of deep respect for the person he is and the resilience he continues to show."

    In recent years, Cher sought to put Elijah under a conservatorship, but decided to drop the case after they came to an agreement.

    Court documents revealed the development months after Cher's request for conservatorship over her son was denied by a judge in Los Angeles.

    At the time, the singer had filed an emergency request for Elijah to be placed under a temporary emergency conservatorship - claiming she "feared that her son would not be alive within the year".

    Cher's lawyers cited his treatment for schizoaffective disorder and revealed that in the past year he has been placed in several 5150s - a California legal code which allows a person with a mental illness to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalisation.

    A judge ruled against the proposal as Elijah proved he had "managed his finances", has an apartment and "remained drug free" after submitting "several drug tests" during the proceedings.

    The judge also ruled there was not "sufficient evidence" to agree to the temporary conservatorship, as much of what the mum and son were arguing was based on "fears" and hypotheticals.

    Elijah previously revealed that he started using drugs when he was just 11 years old and came close to overdosing several times.

    In 2014, he told Entertainment Tonight: "I did have 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."
