  1. Former Allman Bros. Guitarist Dies

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Former Allman Brothers guitarist &lsquo;Dangerous&rsquo; Dan Toler has died at the age of 65. The southern rock veteran had been fighting motor neurone disease, which causes difficulty in moving, swallowing, speaking and even breathing. Despite being confined to a wheelchair he&rsquo;d continued to play and perform, until his illness made it impossible in recent months. His friends had arranged a number of benefit shows to help with his medical bills. The musician joined Dickey Betts and Great Southern in the mid 1970s before joining the Allmans alongside Betts and his brother David &lsquo;Frankie&rsquo; Toler in 1979. He appeared on their Enlightened Rogues, Reach For The Sky and Brothers Of The Road albums. He later played with the Gregg Allman Band alongside Frankie, recording I&rsquo;m No Angel in 1986 and Just Before The Bullets Fly two years later. After a stint in the Renegades of Southern Rock he formed the Townsend Toler Band with John Townsend in 2009.</span>
