Chaz Bono’s Thriving Career and Activism in 2025
Chaz Bono’s life has been defined by his pioneering work as an LGBTQ+ activist and his successful transition into a respected character actor. In 2025, his career continues to build momentum on multiple fronts, moving beyond his family legacy.
A New Chapter in Theatrical Production
A significant development in Chaz’s career is his expansion into production. A lifelong theater enthusiast, he recently launched his own theatrical production company, aiming to bring new and diverse stories to the stage and screen.
This move allows Chaz to take creative control and champion projects that align with his values, further cementing his role as an influential figure in the entertainment industry, not just in front of the camera, but behind it as well. He is also a producer on the horror movie *Bury the Bride* and has been involved in other film projects.
Television and Film Presence
Chaz remains a recognizable face in television, leveraging his unique perspective and acting talent in various roles. He has appeared in notable series like *The Bold and the Beautiful*, the comedy series *Where the Bears Are*, and the FX anthology horror series *American Horror Story*.
His work as an actor, particularly in mainstream shows, is a powerful form of advocacy, normalizing transgender representation in media. His personal journey, which was documented in the 2011 film *Becoming Chaz*, continues to inspire millions globally, offering a candid look at his transition and his relationship with his mother.
Elijah Blue Allman’s Recent Health Struggles and Music Legacy
Elijah Blue Allman, Cher’s son with the late rock legend Gregg Allman, has made his mark in the music world as the frontman for the industrial rock band Deadsy. However, the most recent news surrounding Elijah in 2025 has focused on his personal health and the ongoing, turbulent relationship with his mother.
The Tumultuous Events of Mid-2025
The summer of 2025 brought renewed public concern for Elijah’s well-being. In June 2025, he was hospitalized in Southern California after officials responded to reports of a man "acting erratically" in a home in the Mojave Desert.
Reports indicated that the incident was related to an overdose, a tragic setback in his long-documented battle with substance abuse. He was released from the hospital a few days after the incident.
This event follows a previous, highly publicized legal battle in late 2023 when Cher filed for a temporary conservatorship over Elijah, citing his severe mental health and substance abuse issues. Cher’s filing expressed deep concern that Elijah was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources" and was at risk. While Cher ultimately dismissed the conservatorship petition, the legal action highlighted the depth of the family's struggle and Cher’s desperate attempts to intervene.
The Musical World of Deadsy
Despite his personal turmoil, Elijah Blue Allman’s artistic contributions are substantial. He formed the industrial rock band Deadsy in 1995, serving as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist under the stage name Philips Exeter Blue I.
The band is known for its unique sound, which blends analog keyboard and guitar synthesizers with Elijah’s distinctive baritone vocals and a theatrical, retro image. His work with Deadsy is a testament to his musical heritage, connecting the rock-and-roll legacy of his father, Gregg Allman, with his own modern, darker aesthetic.
The Family Dynamic: Cher, Her Sons, and The Allman/Bono Legacy
The lives of Chaz and Elijah are intrinsically tied to the grand, complex tapestry of Cher’s family. The children are grandchildren to the late Georgia Holt, Cher's mother, who was a country singer and model herself.
The two men share a famous mother but have different fathers who were both titans of the music industry: Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman. This dual heritage has given them a unique perspective on fame and creativity, but also a heavy burden of expectation.
Chaz’s public journey, including his gender transition, has been a source of immense pride and support from Cher, who has become a powerful ally for the transgender community. Meanwhile, Cher's relationship with Elijah is characterized by a persistent and painful cycle of love, worry, and intervention, as she fights to help him overcome his addiction.
In 2025, the narrative of Cher’s family remains one of resilience, creativity, and the enduring challenges that come with life under the constant scrutiny of the public eye. Both Chaz and Elijah, now in their late 40s and mid-50s, continue to write their own stories, separate from, but forever connected to, the legendary life of their mother.
