A major setback has occured for Allman Brothers fans in Chicago as the band announced that their legendary front-man and former Cher spouse will be undergoing a liver transplant at The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla.
As a result, The Allman Brothers will not be performing at The Crossroads Guitar Fest at Toyota Park, according to "Chicago Tribune" rock journalist and "Sound Opinions" (an NPR music show) co-host Greg Kot.
The tweet from Kot linked to an article in "The Trib" which said that The Derek Trucks Band will replace The Allman Brothers for the festival.
There will also be a joint performance from Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton at the show.
We certainly wish Greg Allman a speedy recovery.
In other news, since I forgot to link Twisted Sister's web site to our blog during a post yesterday, I wanted to point out that the '80s hair band will also be performing at Rockweekend 2010 in Soderham, Sweden, on July 9. Closer to home, Twisted Sister arrives in Wichita, Kan., for a performance at the Midwest Rockfest on July 24.
They were the ones who did "Come on Feel the Noise" right?! Oh, yeah---sorry, that was Quiet Riot! (Yeah, I know Twisted Sister did "We're Not Going to Take it." We were just messing with ya'!).
