The Allman Brothers Band has cancelled their upcoming performance at the Wanee Festival and postponed their annual run of shows at New York’s Beacon Theater. Gregg Allman was recently diagnosed with Hepatitis C and has been receiving treatments for the virus for the past six months. Though the treatments have been successful so far, and the virus has been eradicated from his system, his recovery from the side effects of the treatment is taking longer than originally projected.

"I'm getting better but I'm still tired," Allman said in a statement. "I need to be at 110% to do the shows the way we do them. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support and understanding my Brothers and our fans have given me."

The Wanee Festival will take place as planned, with Gov't Mule, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, moe. and Levon Helm still scheduled to appear. As of press time, the Allman Brothers Band still plans to hit the road in August and will likely play the Beacon this fall. There is currently no word on the group’s scheduled appearance at Bonnaroo.
