Gregg Allman Remembrances & Tributes Flood In From All Corners

In the span of just four months the music world has lost two founding members of The Allman Brothers Band as drummer Butch Trucks died in January and word of Gregg Allman’s death was announced on Saturday. Gregg’s passing has hit home with many artists from multiple genres of the rock world and beyond.

Allman’s longtime band mate Warren Haynes was one of the first to weigh in. “I am truly honored to have been fortunate enough to have written many songs with him and equally honored to have traveled the world with him while making the best music the world has ever known. I will never, ever take that for granted,” read part of Warren’s note. Gregg’s ex-wife Cher wrote, “WORDS ARE IMPOSSIBLE GUI GUI?” in reference to her nickname for Allman.

JamBase has started to compile remembrances of Gregg Allman. We’ll be sure to update this post as we imagine more tributes will file in over the coming hours and days.

“The sudden passing of Gregg Allman leaves us at a loss yet, at the same time, we stand alongside the millions thankful that Gregg was in our lives. Gregg was, of course, a brilliant and intuitive player with a depth of soul reflected in his works in a truly moving manner. Brother Gregg was generous with his talent, his spirit and, of course, his great voice. We were fortunate enough to have been touched by him and those moments remain treasured encounters. Some truly positive, uplifting experiences. Gregg will be remembered as someone who made a big difference in the lives of many and whose sonic legacy continues that memorable course.” – Billy Gibbons
