"The world has lost a brilliant pioneer in music".
Gregg Allman bildade The Allman Brothers Band. Nu har han somnat in för gott, 69 år gammal, skriver Blabbermouth. Han diagnostiserades med Hepatit C 1999 och gjorde en levertransplantation 2010.
Genom artistens officiella hemsida publicerades följande information:
"It is with deep sadness that we announce that Gregg Allman, a founding member of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, passed away peacefully at his home in Savannah, Georgia.
Gregg struggled with many health issues over the past several years. During that time, Gregg considered being on the road playing music with his brothers and solo band for his beloved fans, essential medicine for his soul. Playing music lifted him up and kept him going during the toughest of times."
Gregg Allmans manager och nära vän, Michael Lehman säger i sin tur:
"I have lost a dear friend and the world has lost a brilliant pioneer in music. He was a kind and gentle soul with the best laugh I ever heard. His love for his family and bandmates was passionate as was the love he had for his extraordinary fans. Gregg was an incredible partner and an even better friend. We will all miss him."
Hans familj föreslår att hyllningar kan göras genom att skänka pengar till Gregg Allman Scholarship Fund.
Vila i frid, Gregg Allman
