Cher's son charged with simple assault and trespassing at New Hampshire private school

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Police say Cher's son was arrested on Friday after acting belligerently at a New Hampshire private high school, of which he has no association.

Elijah Allman, 49, was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman, whose father was the late Gregg Allman, was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.

At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul's School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.

Hagar 'would love to write a song with Eddie again'

Sammy Hagar, who had two stints as Van Halen's lead vocalist – from 1985-1996 after Roth's departure, and again in 2004 – hasn't been contacted about the project, he told USA TODAY. "(Alex Van Halen) has the right to do anything he wants with his brother's stuff, but it's really a shame," he said. "I would love to write a song with Eddie again."

Hagar went so far as to say having him and Roth split the vocals – and have bassist Michael Anthony provide backing vocals – "would be a dream come true for Van Halen fans."

In his memoir, Alex Van Halen didn't cover the "Van Hagar" years of the band, after Roth left in 1985. "For me, the spirit of the band ended in 1984. We did good work after that, but the primary spiritual aspect, the magic, the potential, the looking to the future together, all of that stuff, our mutually strange backgrounds – that's what made Van Halen,"he told USA TODAY in 2024.

"I understand he's got some problems with me," Hagar says. "But whatever, you know, I'm busy. But if I got the call, I would drop just about everything, except for my live shows, to do the right thing for that. It would just be so exciting to work with Eddie again in any way."
