The pop icon, 77, participated remotely in the hearing concerning her 47-year-old son, during which the judge ultimately denied her request. Throughout the proceedings, Cher's distress was palpable, highlighting the gravity she attaches to Allman's current state.

Cher's legal team outlined the basis of her concern, emphasizing the urgency she feels due to Allman's "history of drug use" and his diagnosis of "schizoaffective disorder." They hinted at an anticipated bipolar diagnosis from a leading physician, underscoring Cher's fears for her son's survival. "She feared that her son would not be alive within the year," one of her attorneys conveyed, revealing the depth of Cher's anxiety over her son's predicaments.

Despite Allman's objection to the conservatorship, asserting his sobriety and treatment for addiction, the court heard about his history of mental health challenges and several instances of being placed under 5150 holds. These details paint a picture of a mother desperate to safeguard her son's wellbeing, even proposing the appointment of a "third party professional fiduciary" to manage Allman's financial interests.

The judge's decision to deny the temporary conservatorship was based on insufficient evidence and Allman's demonstrated ability to manage his affairs, including remaining drug-free and maintaining an apartment. This ruling does not diminish Cher's concerns for her son, driven by a mother's instinct to protect her child.

This legal battle is part of a more significant ongoing conservatorship case, with another hearing scheduled for March 6. Cher's move to become the sole conservator of Allman's estate highlights her commitment to his health and financial stability amidst his severe mental health and substance abuse issues.

Cher's determination to help her son is underscored by her previous efforts to address his addiction and mental health challenges. "I'm a mother. This is my job — one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children," Cher expressed, encapsulating the relentless spirit of a parent in the face of adversity. As the conservatorship saga unfolds, Cher's unwavering support for Allman remains a testament to her love and dedication as a mother.
