Gregg Allman has been forced to cancel more than a dozen dates planned for the coming weeks due to an upper respiratory illness. Allman, who returned to the road recently following a long absence in the aftermath of a liver transplant, was ordered by his physician to check-in to the hospital for treatment, which will likely be followed by several weeks of bed rest. The news came as Allman was preparing to perform at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival in Fredericton, Canada - an event he was forced to skip in 2010 due to his transplant procedure. The director of the festival expressed disappointment, but credited Allman's management for doing what it could to try and muster a replacement act.
