CONCORD, N.H. — Elijah Blue Allman, the son of legendary singer and actress Cher and the late musician Gregg Allman, was arrested Friday evening following a disturbance at an elite private boarding school in New Hampshire.
Authorities in Concord confirmed that Allman, 49, was taken into custody on February 27, 2026, at St. Paul’s School. According to police reports, Allman is facing charges of simple assault and criminal trespassing. Witnesses described the incident as “belligerent” behavior at the prep school, an institution with which Allman reportedly has no known personal connection.
Following his arrest, Allman was released on bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned at a later date in Concord District Court. Representatives for Cher have not yet issued an official statement regarding the legal situation involving her youngest son.
A Week of Highs and Lows for the Goddess of Pop
The news of her son’s arrest comes during a busy period for the 79-year-old “Goddess of Pop.” Just days ago, Cher made headlines for a lighthearted appearance at the Grammy Awards, where she won over the audience by poking fun at her own teleprompter flubs while presenting. Fans praised her resilience and humor, qualities that have defined her six-decade career.
Additionally, Cher is preparing for a major keynote address at the virtual National Conference for Women scheduled for March 4. The appearance is part of a packed schedule for the icon, who is reportedly working on an autobiography, a new Christmas project, and a highly anticipated film chronicling her life and career.
Legacy of the Queen of Reinvention
Cher remains one of the most successful entertainers in history, holding the unique distinction of being the only solo artist to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in each of the past six decades. With over 100 million records sold, her influence spans music, film, and fashion.
Recent retrospectives have highlighted her cultural impact, including the 40th anniversary of her iconic “revenge” outfit at the Academy Awards—a moment that remains a touchstone in fashion history. Despite the recent family turmoil, Cher continues to be a dominant force in the industry, with her latest physical album releases reaching new sales milestones in early 2026.
