Dickey Betts, the singer, songwriter and guitarist who played a crucial role in the Allman Brothers Band, has died at age 80.
whose piercing solos, beloved songs and hell-raising spirit defined the band and Southern rock in general, died Thursday morning at the age of 80. The cause was cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Betts’ manager David Spero confirmed to“It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Betts family announce the peaceful passing of Forrest Richard ‘Dickey’ Betts at the age of 80 years old,” Betts’ family announced in a statement to.
Born Forrest Richard Betts in West Palm Beach, Florida, on December 12, 1943, Betts began playing ukulele around age five, followed by banjo and mandolin. “When I finally got to about seventh grade,” he told, “I learned about girls and rock & roll and Chuck Berry.” As a teenager, he put together his own band while earning a living as a house painter and mail carrier.In the mid-Sixties, a member of a Midwestern band named the Jokers heard Betts and recruited him for out-of-state tours.
But after Gregg testified in a drug trial involving a band employee, which infuriated Betts, the Allman Brothers fell apart for the first time. Betts recorded two albums with his own band, Great Southern, which didn’t replicate his Allmans success. In 1979, the Allman Brothers regrouped, broke up again a few years later, and reunited again in 1989.
