Lynyrd Skynyrd, known for Southern rock anthems like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Freebird” and “Simple Man,” previously did a farewell tour in 2019 but apparently nothing can stop the band.
Singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines were famously killed in a 1977 plane crash and Gary Rossington, the last surviving original member, died in 2023. The lineup today features Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie’s brother, who said the band would continue touring without Rossington.
