American icon Cher has reportedly taken drastic measures to help her son, Elijah Blue Allman, overcome his drug addiction.

Cher sent men to her son's home to take him to rehab, with friends praising her as an "amazing mother" with the best intentions.

Elijah, a talented musician, had previously spoken about his eight-year struggle with drug addiction,
