When Gregg Allman died at his home near Savannah, Georgia due to complications from liver cancer, the music world lost one of its greatest and most consistent performers.
He was a fixture on theater, arena and festival stages for almost 50 years as a member of the Allman Brothers Band and a solo artist.
Allman hadn’t performed in over six months. A string of canceled shows going back to November 2016 were a sure sign to fans that Allman was gravely ill.
His final show was in Atlanta on October 29, 2016. The date is significant because Duane Allman died on October 29, 1971, and the Allman Brothers Band intentionally finished their final show on that date in 2014, after which Allman continued to perform with his solo band.
