March 2, 2026 ·

NEW HAMPSHIRE—On February 27, musician, Elijah Blue Allman, 49, was arrested and charged with assault and disturbing the peace in Concord, New Hampshire. The disturbance took place at a prep school which he had no affiliation. Allman is the son of musicians and Malibu residents, Cher and Greg Allman. He played in the band Deadsy, from 1995-2023. Reports indicate that the police were called to St. Paul’s Prep school over an unwanted visitor. According to the Concord Monitor, Allman, staff at St. Paul’s reported that Allman first entered the dining hall at 6 p.m., as students were exiting. He was smoking a cigarette while speaking to the students, and reportedly “pushed a faculty member with his cane.” According to their website, St. Paul’s School is a college preparatory, co-educational boarding school, affiliated with the Episcopal Church at 325 Pleasant Street in Concord. The school’s 2,000 acre, or 3.125 square mile campus serves 540 students from 37 states and 28 countries. Concord Police Department officers reportedly took a belligerent Allman into custody after he interrupted a dinner in St. Paul’s dining hall. CPD officers arrested and charged Allman with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass, and criminal threatening, and booked into Merrimack County Jail. This was not Allman’s first brush with the law in June 2025, officers with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department received a call of a disturbance. San Bernardine Morongo Basin Sheriff’s deputies responding to the call took Allman to an area hospital due to what was described in reports as, “erratic behavior.” SBCS first told Fox News Digital that, “When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman [then] 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.” Public information indicates Cher was at one time applying for conservatorship of her son due to what she referred to as his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, noting: “Any money he gets will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk.” Reports indicate that the conservatorship involves a trust fund set up for him by his late father, Greg, that Cher was at one time the conservator of.   By Sharon

MALIBU—On December 9, a fire began in the Hills of Malibu. By December 10, 2,200 acres were consumed with fire forcing the people of Malibu to leave their homes. Mandatory evacuations are in place east of Malibu Canyon Road, South Plum Road, and Serra Retreat. Many residents were forced to evacuate including some celebrities such as Dick Van Dyke, and his wife, Arlene, Cher, Barbara Streisand, Julia Roberts, Beyonce’, and Jay-z among others.

By December 11, reports confirmed more than 3,000 acres in this area burned.

The talented actor and comedian, Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 years old on Friday, December 13, checked in on his Facebook account to let his friends and fans know he and his wife evacuated safely.

“Arlene and I have safely evacuated with our animals except for Bobo escaped as we were leaving. We’re praying he’ll be OK and that our community in Serra Retreat will survive these terrible fires.”

Multiple news reports indicate that Cher has also evacuated safely with her pets who are all with her at the area hotel of her choice. There is currently no information readily available on the evacuation status of the other stars living in the area.

Serra Retreat is a Catholic Retreat Center, but also a gated community of luxury homes nestled in the hills of Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The following came directly from the Malibu-Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce webpage.

“In 1942, the Franciscan Friars purchased the 26-acre property with an abandoned hilltop mansion and began hosting Catholic men’s retreats. In the 1970’s they began hosting women’s retreats. The Franciscan Friars continue the tradition, welcoming groups, and personal retreats, as well as meetings, conferences, and workshops. Serra Retreat provides a superb opportunity for church groups, schools, and non-profit and profit organizations, to reflect, plan, and set new goals.

Canyon News reached out to the Franciscans at the Serra Retreat Center to check on them but did not hear back in time for print.
