Cher on leaving Gregg Allman to protect her son Elijah Blue Allman
In a 2017 interview with Closer Weekly, the veteran singer opened up about her relationship with Elijah Blue Allman. She said, "You know, I loved him [Gregg Allman]. But I really didn’t want Elijah around him alone." This was because the late guitarist was known to have a drug problem, and had a fatal drug dependency.
Elijah was more of a "rebel" than his sibling, which according to Chaz, was the reason behind the 47-year-old developing a drug habit, which ultimately landed him in rehab, and then led to a time when the singer and her son weren't on talking terms.
According to Allman himself, he always thought he was the "black sheep" of the family. The 77-year-old singer had reasoned, "You can’t beat people into doing what you want them to do."
