Gregg Allman: Southern rock royalty

The legendary frontman of The Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman, was suffering from advanced liver cancer when he went into the studio to record his final solo album, Southern Blood. Deeply aware that he was living on borrowed time before his death on 27 May 2017, the Midnight Rider hitmaker put every ounce of remaining strength into his vocals. His final recorded performance was a poignant cover of Jackson Browne's Song for Adam, which famously cuts out at the end as Allman became too choked up with emotion to sing the final lines.
