Dickey Betts, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, has canceled his New York State Fair performance, according to a post on his Facebook page and a New York State fair spokesman.

Betts recently suffered a mild stroke and postponed at least three tour dates, according to the Facebook post.

He described post-stroke repercussions to his doctors who advised him to give himself more time to recover, the Facebook post said.

The New York State Fair is attempting to replace the show, which was scheduled for Aug. 28 at 8 p.m.

"I know the thoughts of all of Dickey Betts's fans are with him as we wish him a speedy recovery. Our Chevy Court stage will always be open to him," acting fair director Troy Waffner said in a statement.
