Just in: Rocker Gregg Allman has undergone a successful liver transplant operation at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla.

"I feel pretty good, considering everything that's happened," Allman said in a statement after having surgery this morning. "Everybody involved here, my doctors and nurses in the hospital and all the Allman Brothers fans, they've just all been great."

In late 2007, The singer, keyboardist, songwriter and guitarist began a series of treatments for his Hepatitis C, but chronic damage of his liver led to doctors recommending a transplant. Now he's looking forward to a speedy recovery, say his publicists. Adds Allman, "Every day is a gift, and I can't wait to get back on the road making music with my friends."
