Gregg Allman dead: Singer, organist for The Allman Brothers Band was 69 | Fox NewsGregg Allman dead: Singer, organist for The Allman Brothers Band was 69
Gregg Allman, the legendary frontman of The Allman Brothers, died Saturday, a publicist said. He was 69.
Allman died at his home in Savannah, Georgia, publicist Ken Weinstein said. A statement on the singer’s website said he “passed away peacefully.”
Allman, who is credited with spawning the Southern rock movement, cancelled some of his 2016 tour dates after announcing in August that he was “under his doctor’s care at the Mayo Clinic” due to “serious health issues.” Later that year, he canceled more dates citing a throat injury. And in March 2017, he canceled performances for the rest of the year.
RIP, Gregg. Here's one of my favorites of theirs with a crankin piano solo by Gregg.
RIP Gregg
You and Duane and many others shaped Southern Rock. Your music will live on always.
