The legendary Southern Rock musician and influential part of The Allman Brothers, unfortunately, suffered the stroke sometime last week.
Neel became part of the Allman Bros. Band after he started playing with Dickey Betts and even made an appearance on Betts’ 1988 solo album. He then went on to play with Allman Brothers for several years and has appeared as a studio musician on records of a seemingly endless number of country and rock musicians.

As the days have passed, Neel’s team has made sure to keep people informed of his status and progress, posting updates on his Facebook page as well as starting a GoFundMe campaign to help bridge the gap between insurance and medical costs.
The campaign, started by Doug Jones (Neel’s manager), explains that the donations will help Johnny and his wife Christine “to help buy the much-needed home care and medical assistive equipment.”
