Cher has filed for temporary conservatorship of her son Elijah Allman, 47, stating that a conservatorship is "urgently needed" because he struggles with mental health issues and addiction.
The 77-year-old singer said in the petition that his alleged addiction has left him unfit to control his assets, which could put his life in danger. If granted by the Los Angeles Superior Court, the petition filed on Wednesday would give the award-winning singer and actress temporary control of her son's finances, The Associated Press reported. Allman – Cher's second child after Chaz Bono and the son she had with musician Gregg Allman – was once a singer and guitarist for the band Deadsy.
