Gregg Allman, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band who overcame family tragedy, drug addiction and health problems to become a star for the blues music he loved, has died. He was 69. Allman died due to liver cancer at his home in Savannah, Georgia, and he was "surrounded by his family and friends" , Michael Lehman, Allman's longtime manager and close friend, who will deal with everything after his death. “He will be buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, though a funeral date has not yet been set, ” Lehman said. Two other founding members of the Allman Brothers—guitarist Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley—are also buried at Rose Hill Cemetery.
      Allman—along with older brother Duane and a handful of other musicians including guitarist Dickey Betts and drummer Butch Trucks, who died in January also at the age of 69—helped form the Southern Band whose blend of rock, blues, country music and jazz made them one of the biggest and most influential touring acts of the 1970s.
     Gregg Allman sang and composed some of the band's songs, including Midnight Rider and Wasted Words, the ballad Melissa, and Whipping Post. He and Betts took over leadership of the band after Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971 and before the band broke up for the first time in the late 1970s.
     Allman continued recording and touring, both with reunited versions of the Allmans Brothers Band and with his own bands, for some 40 years. "My love of playing is still the same as when I was 24. In fact, I appreciate it all more and understand it much better," Allman told the Wall Street Journal in 2015. "I'm grateful for every gold record, good review and award I've ever received."
