Gregg Allman, whose hard-jamming, bluesy sextet the Allman Brothers Band was the pioneering unit in the Southern rock explosion of the ‘70s, died Saturday due to currently unknown causes. He was 69.
As recently as April 24, reports surfaced claiming Allman was in hospice. His manager previously denied those reports to Variety, which Allman then substantiated in a Facebook post. However, he had suffered a number of ailments in recent years — including an irregular heartbeat, a respiratory infection, a hernia and a liver transplant — and cancelled many scheduled tour dates in recent months due to undisclosed health reasons.

These rock n’ roll deaths are really wearing me down. The last 2 years seem to be particularly.
RIP and prayers to the family.

It’s not the age, it’s the mileage.
RIP Greg. Live at the Fillmore East is the best live album ever.

69 is too young to die. It does make a statement about the 60’s and the sexual revolution.

Amazing! Just last night I was viewing “after the crash” about the Allman Brothers band and the struggle they had after Duane, then Barry’s deaths.
And today I read that Greg too, has passed.

I’m sure being married to Cher took a few miles off him too!
