The Allman Brothers Band has cancelled its
upcoming Bonnaroo appearance. The seminal jamband recently postponed a
number of spring shows while founding member Gregg Allman recovers from
treatment for Hepatitis C. According to reports, Allman’s treatment has
been successful so far and the virus has been eradicated from his
system. As of press time, the group still plans to hit the road with
RatDog this August.
“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.”
Bonnaroo will confirm a replacement artist this Thursday. The Allman
Brothers Band also plans to reschedule its run of shows at the Beacon
for the fall of 2008.
