Allman Brothers To Reschedule Rest Of Beacon Run

The Allman Brothers Band have decided to reschedule the remaining four shows of this year’s March Madness run at the Beacon Theatre in New York City due to Gregg Allman’s bronchitis. No new dates have been decided thus far.

The Allmans went ahead without Gregg on Friday and Saturday, but apparently thought better of continuing on when it became clear Allman would be unable to return for the four remaining performances.

Gregg has battled many health issues in recent years following a Hepatitis C diagnosis in 2007 and a liver transplant in 2010. Allman had to miss the final show of the Allman Brothers Band’s 2012 Beacon run due to back issues. In addition to the two Beacon performances Gregg had to miss this year, Butch Trucks was unable to play at the third show of the run back on March 11. Guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are parting ways with the Allman Brothers Band at the end of 2014 leaving the future of the band beyond this year in doubt.

Here’s the statement from the band and MSG Entertainment:

The Allman Brothers Band announced the postponement of the remaining four Beacon Theatre performances on March 25, March 26, March 28 and March 29 as Gregg Allman recovers from bronchitis. As a result of Mr. Allman’s illness, the Allman Brothers Band is unable to perform at the level to which they aspire.
