Very sad to hear.

Nine times out of 10 if your brain is swelling you bought the farm. :(

I sure hope he survives to see many more days, and let’s hope the Grim Reaper gets cheated once again for D. B. to live life to the fullest as best possible.

My guess is that Mr. Betts is in a ball-crushing rush to reunite with Duane and Gregg to get the band back together. Balance and equilibrium problems are common periphery issues among stroke victims and he should not have been rough-housing with a dog in the back yard so soon after he was stricken.

Another update from the Allman Bros. newsletter:

We have an update from David Spero, Dickey Betts' manager, and it's good news.

------------
Dickey Betts and his family want everyone to know that his surgery was a success. The outpouring of support from all over the world has been overwhelming and amazing. We are so appreciative.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful thoughts and prayers. We will keep you updated.

--David Spero

Fantastic. Take time out for yourself and get better, Dickey. The fans aren’t going anywhere. They’re with you all the way. :D

Trust me, it was.

They opened for Crabby Appleton and Moby Grape.

The headliners were great but they stole the show!

That must have been very cool, my friend!

I saw the Allman Brothers in 2012, which of course was long after Dickey was in the band, but it was a great show. I was born exactly a month after Duane died, so I missed out on the original line up.
