Allan was previously married to Malin Heen, with whom he had five children.[9] He has subsequently remarried.[10]

In June 2012, Allan was hospitalised after being assaulted by two men shortly before he was due to play a concert at a hotel in Stirling. The beating was allegedly carried out by members of the Blue Angels Motorcycle Club, who accused Allan of helping the rival Outlaws Motorcycle Club establish a chapter in Dundee the previous year. Allan subsequently distanced himself from the Outlaws and withdrew from a scheduled appearance at a rock and blues event organised by the motorcycle club in Derby the following month. He said of the incident: "The attack was frightening and left me quite traumatised".[11]
