Guitarist Gary Rossington, the last surviving founding member of Florida southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, whose songs included Sweet Home Alabama, Free Bird, and Tuesday's Gone, has died.
abc.net.au/news/lynyrd-skynyrd-founding-member-gary-rossington-dead-at-71/102060102Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd's last surviving original member who also helped to found the group, has died at the age of 71.
A year later, he emerged from the 1977 plane crash that killed singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines. He suffered two broken arms, a broken leg, and a punctured stomach and liver."You can't just talk about it real casual and not have feelings about it.
According to Rolling Stone, it was during a fateful Little League game that Ronnie Van Zant hit a line drive into the shoulder blades of opposing player Burns and met his future band mates. Adopting Lynyrd Skynyrd as the group's name — both a reference to a similarly named sports coach at Rossington's high school and to a character in the 1963 novelty hit Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh — the band released their debut album in 1973.
