Guitarist Gary Rossington, the last surviving founding member of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died, the band announced on their official Facebook page Sunday evening. He was 71.
Sad that they are all gone, but they were a band that had most of their hits before I was even born.
My dad loved their music though, one road trip we took, he had a 6 disk CD changer that had two of their greatest hits CDs, two Eagles Greatest Hits CDs, and two more CDs of that era and genre. It was a long 2 day drive each way listening to just those on repeat.
Yeah, this one hurts. He was the last of the original Vanguard voice actors and the one I expected to stay through everything.
An absolute icon. He will be missed.
