Warren Haynes explained some of the reasons behind The Allman Brothers Band’s decision to call it quits yesterday in an interview with a Boston radio station. Speaking with WZLX 100.7 FM, Haynes said that the group has been considering the move for some time, noting that, “It’s been a little confusing, but I think it’s important to realize that it’s something we’ve all, as a band, been communicating about for quite a long time.

Haynes added that Gregg Allman has been more interested in his solo project lately, saying, “Gregg really enjoys doing his thing more than he enjoys doing the Allman Brothers.”

As previously reported, the Allman Brothers Band will perform at the Peach Music Festival and the Lockn’ Festival before closing things out with a final six-night run at New York City’s Beacon Theatre in October.
