Gregg Allman cancels tour dates, including Cape Cod Melody Tent

Rock legend Gregg Allman has canceled his tour from Aug. 26 to Sept. 15 for health reasons.

He was scheduled to perform at the Cape Cod Melody Tent Aug. 31. All refunds for the cancelled show on will be handled through the point of purchase, which includes the Cape Cod Melody Tent Box office open daily from noon to 6 p.m. through the end of the season and Ticketmaster at 1-800-653-8000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown, Pa., reports Allman’s performance on Saturday at the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival may have been one of the last chances for fans in the region to see Allman.

The newspaper says Jambands.com reports that the 64-year-old Allman will require several days of hospitalization and four to six weeks of bed rest. Allman suffers from an upper respiratory condition.

Festival marketing manager Shelley Johansson says, “It just makes me more grateful that he was here and put on such a wonderful performance.”
