Former President Jimmy Carter said he will attend Gregg Allmans funeral in Macon on Saturday.
Gregg Allman was there when I needed him and Rosalynn and I have always been grateful to him, Carter, 92, said in a statement on Friday. I was very proud to participate in Mercers awarding Greg an honorary doctorate, and will attend the funeral to show my respect and concern.
Allman died at age 69 last Saturday at his Savannah home from complications due to liver cancer. He is to be buried alongside his brother Duane and fellow Allman Brothers band member Berry Oakley at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon.
A private service will take place at 1 p.m. at Snows Memorial Chapel, followed by a procession to the cemetery. Fans are welcome to line the procession route to pay their last respects to the icon of Southern rock.
