THE youngest son of pop icon Cher has sparked health concerns after he was pictured stumbling out of a notorious Hollywood hotel weeks after being hospitalized.
Photos obtained by The U.S. Sun showed a disheveled Elijah Blue Allman leaving the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, with what appeared to be a cane in one hand and a Starbucks beverage on the other.

Since its inception in 1929, the Chateau Marmont has been riddled with scandalous tales involving Hollywood elites from rock stars Jim Morrison and Led Zeppelin to Lindsay Lohan's rumored $46,000 stay.
Harry Cohn, the co-founder of Columbia Pictures, once famously told two aspiring actors in the mid-1900s, "If you must get into trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont," according to Architectural Digest.
On August 6, The U.S. Sun pictured Allman, 48, wearing a grubby white T-shirt with the hotel's name embedded in green letters on the chest area.
Allman also wore dark sweat shorts, laceless sneakers, and a long metallic necklace.
The troubled son of the Believe singer oddly had what appeared to be a dark-colored pointed press-on nail on his right ring finger and on his left thumb.
Allman has had a history of substance abuse, but the disturbing details of his struggle with drugs came to light in 2023 when Cher filed for a conservatorship to control access to his money in 2023.
The pop legend, 79, argued that her son was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."
The mother and son solved the issue privately months after the claims were made public.
'DRUG HORROR'
However, Allman's situation took a turn for the worse in June after paramedics allegedly found him high on drugs, in a "zombie-like" state, standing motionless in the scorching 104 degree heat in Joshua Tree, California.
A video, caught on a Ring security footage that day, appeared to show a scruffy, barefooted Allman carrying a piece of aluminum foil with an unknown substance in the home.

He was dressed in dirty blue shorts and a filthy white T-shirt, unshaven, and with unkempt hair.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Allman for comment.
A spokesperson for San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said at the time, "Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically.
"When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel.
"Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing."
Sources told The U.S. Sun at the time that Allman went on a binge in the AirBnB and took a "drug cocktail" that included a potent opioid drug before paramedics were alerted.
Authorities searched the property after Allman was taken to the hospital and found drugs believed to be heroin and white fentanyl powder spread across a side table next to rolled up paper, photos showed.
Police stuck a "danger" notice to the front window of the AirBnB, warning of the presence of fentanyl.
Kayti Edwards, the owner of the property and a close friend of Allman and former Friends star Matthew Perry, told pals she was at the home on the afternoon of June 14 to check on Allman.
Edwards told her friends that Allman was acting erratically and had spiraled out of control in the days before he was hospitalized.

CONCERNING EPISODE
Upon her arrival to the property, Edwards said she found Allman standing "statue still' in the front yard in a 'foggy, zombie-like' state, sources told The U.S. Sun at the time.
"Kayti found him just standing there, unresponsive in her front yard, getting badly sunburned," a friend of Edwards said.
"He was blinking his eyes rapidly, but didn't acknowledge her at all. His hands and feet were also swollen, with scabs turning black, an alleged effect of the drugs, that was what most concerned Kayti.
"Even the paramedics couldn't get through to Elijah when they arrived. He was just stood there staring into space for around ten minutes.
"Kayti had to convince him to snap out of it and to get on the stretcher and get some medical help."
The friend said Allman had been staying at Edwards' AirBnB rental for over a week after he checked in on June 6.
'They're old friends and he reached out and told her he needed to get out of LA and needed a place to stay," the source added.
'She met with him and took him out for dinner with her family and he stayed at a house she rents out, but she grew more and more worried about his odd behavior.
'She'd known he had issues with drugs in the past but thought he was finally clean, but it quickly became apparent that wasn't the case, it's all very sad.'
'He's had drug problems for years and Kayti had supported him in the past as he tried to get clean.
'She was really worried about him when she saw what state he was in.'
