According to a report by Wade Tatangelo of Sarasota Herald-Tribune, the rock rock man and southern rock icon Dickey Betts will undergo a brain surgery on Friday.
Betts, the guitarist who wrote and sang at the head of the 1973 hit, Ramblin's Man, 1973's flagship song by Allman Brother, would be in critical but stable condition after suffering what has been described as a " accident".
According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Betts, 74, was playing with his dog in the backyard of the Little Sarasota Bay home in Osprey, Florida, when he fell and sustained a head injury.

The injury, which occurred Monday, comes about a month after Betts postponed a series of concerts after suffering a "slight attack" announced via the Betts website.

After the whistle, the band Dickey Betts canceled the rest of their summer tour, which marked the return of the guitarist on stage after a three-year tour hiatus. Before Monday's brain injury, the guitarist was due back on stage in November.

In an excellent profile published in November 2017 by writer David Browne of Rolling Stone, Betts spoke of making peace with former Allman Brothers group member Gregg Allman before the death of John. Allman in May 2017 following a liver cancer.
"Gregg could only whisper, but we did things," Betts told Browne. The guitarist added, "This whole idea of Gregg and I did not love us, it was bulls." Betts was among those mourning at Allman's funeral in June 2017 in Macon, Georgia, just as Ex-Allman's wife, singer and anonymous actress Cher.
