The last original member of Lynard Skynard, Gary Rossington passed on Sunday March 5th, 2023 at the age of 71. A band that had its share of tragedies over the years, they just kept finding a way to pull back together. All though it was a love or hate song, the iconic live version of “Free Bird” became a symbol of live performances. You could hardly be at a live performance of any band or genre and, in a moment of silence, not hear someone in the crowd yell out “FREE BIRD”. Gary was the “other” guitar in one of the best guitar tracks ever heard.
Rest In Peace with the rest of your band Gary…you got your wings and you too are now a free bird…..
