The Meteoric Rise to Stardom
Elijah Blue Allman was exposed to the world of music at an early age due to the parties hosted by his parents at their home which were frequented by prominent figures from the music industry. However, according to him, at that time he was not able to fully appreciate this opportunity. At the age of 13, he received his first guitar as a gift from Gene Simmons, the bassist of the band Kiss, and went on to tour with his mother, as a guitarist. In 1989, he appeared in the music video for her song 'If I Could Turn Back Time', playing the guitar. In 1994, he made an unsuccessful attempt at securing the spot of the guitarist for 'Nine Inch Nails'. He then took the stage name Phillips Exeter Blue I and formed the heavy metal band 'Deadsy' in 1995. He served as the guitarist and the lead vocalist of the band, which also included Alec Püre on drums, Dr. Nner on synthesizer, Carlton Megalodon on Ztar, and Jens Funke on bass. The band has released three albums so far.

Elijah, who is not the person to wait for someone's approval, decided to elope with his fiancée after his star mother didn't congratulate him following his engagement. When the couple eventually got married, they decided not to invite Cher. In return, she did not invite the newly married couple to the family Christmas celebration at her house, which resulted in an angry twitter rant on his part.
Stating that the mother and the son have a history of not talking, he revealed that they didn't talk for a couple years after he formed his band. He also revealed that their relationship suffered after he was sent to boarding school at the age of seven. His mother even punished him once by sending him to a military school.

In the following years, during his battle with drug addiction, he suffered life-threatening overdose many times and had to go through rehab.
