Gregg Allman has revealed that he recently battled pneumonia. The illness forced him to cancel a handful of tour dates in early August.
"That was a drag," he told Denver alt-weekly Westword.

"I was almost to the end of a tour. I had two more to go, and damn, it just set in.

I had to postpone two of the gigs, but we'll go back and make them up, for sure."

A press release noted that Allman was "currently under his doctor's care at the Mayo Clinic."

He will return to the stage for his Laid Back Festival near Denver this weekend.

He'll play an acoustic set and will hit the road again for another Laid Back Festival appearance in Atlanta on October 29.

He then has 10 shows scheduled for New York in early November.
