Title: RIP gregg allman

Gregg Allman, Soulful Trailblazer of Southern Rock, Dies at 69

Gregg Allman, the soulful singer-songwriter and rock n' blues pioneer who founded The Allman Brothers Band with his late brother, Duane, and composed such classics as "Midnight Rider," "Melissa" and the epic concert jam "Whipping Post," has died at age 69, Billboard has learned. He was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 1999 and underwent a liver transplant in 2010.

With his long blond hair, cool facade and songs that chronicled restless, wounded lives, Allman came to personify the sexy, hard-living rock outlaw in a life marked by musical triumph and calamitous loss.

Billboard will have more information about the specifics behind Allman's death as the story develops.

When I saw this, I immediately thought of Cher.  :(

I think they were really good friends.

It was not to long ago I seen Greg Allman in an interview about his life with Dan Rather. He seemed to be a cool guy. How sad.

Gregg Allman was such an amazing singer-songwriter.  He will leave a definite hole in music now that he's gone.  Those of us that loved his music will surely mourn his passing.

The Allman Brothers is one of my most favorite groups.  I "came of age" listening to their music.

R.I.P.  I saw in an interview with him recently that if his brother and he had lived to be 98 and 99 he would still be the little brother.  His brother died in the early 70's but he still thinks about him every day.  I loved his/their music.

Wasn't Gregg Allman married to Cher once upon a time?  Prayers to his family.
