Ulitzer95 12,187 Posted Monday at 19:02 Time to take a look at the Allman Brothers Band, as Neel is now the second faller in 2024 meaning there are now as many deceased as living members: Original line-up Duane Allman (1946–1971; 24) Greg Allman (1947–2017; 69) Dickey Betts (1943–2024; 80) Jaimoe (born 1944) still performing in 2024, but very overweight, old Berry Oakley (1948–1972; 24) Butch Trucks (1947–2017; 69) Later additions Chuck Leavell (born 1952) current session musician for The Rolling Stones Lamar Williams (1949–1983; 34) David Goldflies (born 1956) still performing with a jazz outfit in 2024 Dan Toler (1948–2013; 64) Mike Lawler (born ?) The most obscure member of the group. Is this his obit by any chance? Frankie Toler (1951–2011; 59) Warren Haynes (born 1960) still performing in 2024 Johnny Neel (1954–2024; 70) Allen Woody (1955–2000; 44) Marc Quiñones (born 1963) touring member of The Doobie Brothers since 2018 Oteil Burbridge (born 1964) still performing in 2024 Jack Pearson (born 1960) still performing in 2024 Derek Trucks (born 1979) still touring with his new band in 2024 Jimmy Herring (born 1962) diagnosed with tonsil cancer in July 2024!

Social media from her family says "Hold your kids extra tight tonight and for now please leave us to work through things. We will shout when we need you. Jude, Rachel, Jed and Ike x" - so maybe suicide, then, not a sniff of an illness on her social media 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
