Elijah Blue Allmanand his wife, Marieangela “Queeny” King, made a rare public appearance on Monday amid his motherCher’s ongoing legal case requesting a conservatorship over her son.
Allman and King attended Christine Peake’s comedy show to benefit Breast Cancer Bandit at Hotel Ziggy in West Hollywood. A source tells PEOPLE that Allman appeared healthy and in good spirits as he and King mingled with some of the performing comedians and DJ Paul Oakenfold.
While chatting with other event attendees, King was heard saying that she and Allman have “never been stronger.” After the show, King could be heard remarking, “that’s what we needed, to be around friends and laugh.”

The judge ruled against Cher’s proposed injunction because Allman has proved “he has managed his finances” and “has remained drug free” after multiple drug tests were administered. The next hearing in the case is set for March.
In her initial December 2023 filing, Cher requested thetemporary conservatorshipover her son’s estate as the sole conservator, claiming that he was “substantially unable to manage his financial resources.” The conservatorship request came months after court documents revealed that King claimed Cher once had Allmanforcibly removedfrom a hotel room.
Regarding the abduction allegations, Cher exclusively told PEOPLE in October “that rumor is not true” and declined to comment further. But she confirmed that the private family matter is related to her son’s ongoing addiction issues.
“I’m not suffering from any problem that millions of people in the United States aren’t,” Cher said of watching her son’s yearslong struggles with substance abuse at the time. “I’m a mother. This is my job — one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache — mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them.”
Allman — who is professionally known as P. Exeter Blue — is a musician and one of the founding members of the metal band Deadsy. The group released two studio albums:Commencementin 2002 andPhantasmagorein 2006. Allman, whose father was Cher’s exGregg Allman, has also collaborated with30 Seconds to Mars, Sugar Ray, Coal Chamber and more.
