Ironic on threads #music night.

#rip in Gary Rossington from Lynard Skynard. Only 71.

That band has known nothing but tragedy and early deaths.

Sort:  

Howard Stern did a great interview with Artimus Pyle a few years back where Pyle describes the plane crash, stumbling through a corn field and getting fired on by a farmer who mistook him for an escaped convict. Unreal.

The stories surrounding the band are as legendary as the music.

He was the last surviving original member of the band.

Holy shit man. RIP. What a legendary band.

Well, I learned this news on Threads. Threads just made me sadder. :(

#rip #garryrossington

A great band. Freebird is an absolute classic.

A cursed band to say the least. Rossington was the consistent influence for the band after the crash in 77.

Their legacy will certainly live on. The stories around the band are only a part of the legend, but naturally everyone would have preferred for them to stay alive.

Sadly death is what helps the legend.

Look at Joplin, James Dean, Jimi.
