Gregg Allman has announced that he is cancelling his forthcoming shows scheduled into the new year. In a statement on his website Allman says:

“This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long, long, time. I’ve been on the road for 45 years because I live to play music with my friends for my fans. As much as I hate it, it’s time for me to take some real time off to heal.

“Not making a show is a really hard decision for me because I want to play so bad, but it’s also hard on my partners and fans who make plans to be with me. I never want to put anybody in a bad spot. I’m so grateful for the people that I work with and for the fans that come to my shows and I want to be at my best for all of them. That means I’m going to have to wait until I’m feeling really good, not just good enough like I have been. Good enough isn’t working for us all.”

His City Winery shows in New York originally slated for this month will now take place in July. His southern dates from late December into January will not take place but have not been rescheduled as yet.

The complete information regarding a ticket exchange for the Cty Winery performances appears below:
