allman brothers band

Co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band was 80 years old.

"People may find that hard to believe, but it had never happened," Warren Haynes tells UCR. "It was history."

Deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley still loomed in 1973.

In emotional tributes on social media and on stages, former members of the Allman Brothers Band show the influence Gregg Allman had on their lives.

Yesterday the world learned that we'd lost another great artist. Gregg Allman, founder of southern rockers the Allman Brothers Band and the Gregg Allman Band, passed away at age 69. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, on December 8, 1947, and, according to his official website, "he passed away peacefully at his home in Savannah Georgia" yesterday...

Gregg Allman, the smoky-voiced B-3-playing Southern rock legend who soldiered on after his sibling's motorcycle crash nearly derailed the Allman Brothers Band, has died.

Duane Allman looms large, but these songs make their own case for the brother who remained.

Among those on hand for the private event were former bandmates Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge and Jaimoe, among others.

A cause of death for Butch Trucks, co-founding drummer with the Allman Brothers Band, was not immediately known.
