Gregg Allman had to cancel upcoming shows and put other scheduled dates on hold.

The singer-songwriter has cited "serious health issues" for the disruption in the tour.

Allman plans to get back on the road in October. In a press release, Allman stated, "I want to thank my fans and friends for supporting me while I rest up and focus on getting better and back on the road as soon as I can.

I've been working hard with my band, my pride and joy, to play our music for everyone. We'll see y'all in October."

Allman's tour is in support of an album/ DVD combo release, Live: Back to Macon, GA, which was released in May of 2015.

A current studio album, tentatively titledSouthern Blood is in the works and expected to be released sometime in 2017.
