A member of a film crew working on the Gregg Allman biopic 'Midnight Rider' was killed yesterday after a train unexpectedly crossed a bridge where a scene was being filmed.

The biopic based on the life of Gregg Allman is beginning to take greater shape. Today (Feb. 17), we learned the names of some of the principal members of the cast, including the actors who will portray the rock legend's best friend and his mother.

Actor William Hurt is set to star as the adult Gregg Allman in a forthcoming film based on the long-time Allman Brothers Band leader's memoir 'My Cross to Bear.'

They're Allman Brothers from different mothers, so Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes are always there for each other when it counts -- including this year's Christmas Jam, which will mark the Haynes-curated festival's 25th anniversary with a pair of sets from Allman.

Fresh off the road with the Allman Brothers Band, frontman Gregg Allman has lined up a series of solo tour dates that will keep him on the road through the end of this year and into the first part of 2014.
