Allman Brothers Band cancels shows

Gregg Allman needs time to recover from medical treatment

The Allman Brothers have been forced to cancel a string of shows because Gregg Allman needs time to recover from his recent treatment for Hepatitis C.

The band have cancelled 15 shows at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as well as two shoes at Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL.

The band are still on schedule to play Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee in June and have announced two shows on their scheduled August tour.

They will play:

Manchester, TN - Bonnaroo Music Festival (June 14)
Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts (August 16)
Camden, NJ - Susquehanna Bank Center (23)
