An update published on Betts’ website says, “Dickey Betts and his family want everyone to know that his surgery was a success. The outpouring of support from all over the world has been overwhelming and amazing. We are so appreciative. Thank you all so much for your wonderful thoughts and prayers. We will keep you updated.”

The former Allman Brothers guitarist fell while at home playing with his dog earlier this week and sustained a head injury. Friday’s surgery was to relieve the cranial pressure created from swelling.
