Gary Rossington, guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, passed away.

There is no additional information about Rossington’s death at this time, although the great musician was known for being a survivor. He was severely injured in an aircraft crash that killed some of his bandmates in 1977, resulting in the band’s years-long hiatus.

However, a decade later, former Lynyrd Skynyrd leader Ronnie Van Zant’s brother revived the band, including Rossington and other disaster survivors.

Following the reunion, they continued to make songs and tour for decades, although the founding members, except Rossington, quit the band for various reasons. Despite having heart surgery in 2021, Rossington kept rocking until the end.
