Trucks, Haynes to leave Allman Brothers Band | savannahnow.com

LOS ANGELES — Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are leaving the Allman Brothers Band at the end of the year.

A statement released by the band’s spokeswomen Wednesday said the guitarists are leaving the legendary rock band to spend more time with their families and work on their other musical projects.

The Allman Brothers Band is set to perform Friday in an all-star tribute to Gregg Allman at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Ga. The band is also scheduled to celebrate the group’s 45th anniversary in March with 10 shows at the Beacon Theatre in New York.

“The 45th anniversary of the Allman Brothers Band is a milestone amidst too many highlights to count, and I’m looking forward to an amazing year creating music that only the Allman Brothers Band can create,” Haynes said.
