The Allman Brothers musician, who has Hepatitis C, had the surgery in Jacksonville, Fla., and is recovering well.

Doctors assure him he'll be fit to walk his 29-year-old daughter Island down the aisle next month. “I feel pretty good, considering everything that’s happened,” he said in a statement.
