“US pop star Cher has dropped her bid for legal control over her son’s personal and financial affairs, according to his lawyers. The singer applied for a conservatorship last December, citing 48-year-old Elijah Blue Allman’s alleged substance abuse and mental health issues. The law firm representing him, Cage & Miles, told the BBC in a statement that the outcome ‘allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.’ Cher’s lawyers said during a brief hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday that the family members had reached a private settlement, US media report. The BBC has contacted Cher’s attorney for comment. The dismissal comes after the If I Could Turn Back Time singer and her son agreed to pause their court battle in May to try to resolve the matter privately, US media reported at the time.” (09/15/24)
