Allman’s funeral set for Saturday

A funeral for rock star Gregg Allman will be held Saturday in Macon, Ga., where the Allman Brothers Band first won fame.

Local news media report that a private memorial is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Snow’s Memorial Chapel. Allman will be buried near his late brother, founding Allman Brothers guitarist Duane Allman, and late bandmate Berry Oakley at Rose Hill Cemetery. Fans are expected to line the procession route from Snow’s to the cemetery.

Allman died Saturday at age 69 after a recurrence of liver cancer.
