Warren Haynes Emotional About Allman Brothers Band Ending

12/23/2014
. (The Blues) Warren Haynes admits he finds it difficult the Allman Brothers Band is at an end - but he still believes it was the right move. Mainman Gregg Allman confirmed earlier this year that the band's 45-year career would come to a close after Haynes and fellow guitarist Derek Trucks decided to leave. They bowed out after a final New York residency last month.

He tells UCR: "It's a very emotional time right now because it was such a huge part of my life. Especially when I was in the band, but even prior to that.

"That music means more to me than anyone could imagine. Being on the inside of it and helping keep it alive was an unbelievable experience. I hate to see it end but I think it's the right decision."

He adds: "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and experience for me. The Allman Brothers were and are one of my favourite bands. To have the opportunity to be involved for 25 years - I have nothing but positive emotions about that." Read more here.
