The Allman Brothers Band frontman, Gregg Allman who passed away last week, was laid to rest on Sunday near the grave of his late brother Duane and his band mate Berry Oakley. A private funeral was held where the rock star’s close friends, family and band mates attended and paid their respects. Gregg’s ex-wife Cher also was present and the group of 100 people moved to the Ross Hill Cemetery in Macon.
Fans lined the street from the funeral service up to the cemetery, playing Allman’s music and even wearing Allman Brothers shirts. E! News reports that a source told them that former president Jimmy Carter also attended the funeral. As requested by Allman’s estate, the mourners who attended the event turned up in jeans instead of the traditional suits that are worn for such services, reports Rolling Stone magazine.
