They made the joint decision to not alter any of the upcoming dates. Lynyrd Skynyrd is on tour right now and Rossington’s absence will not change that. There is more good news for those who planned to see the band live this summer. However, the fact that he is on the mend is good news. The fact that Rossington just got out of heart surgery is worrying for several Lynyrd Skynyrd fans.

The band then added that Gary “Wants everyone to know he is doing good and expects a full recovery.” The band’s statement said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary Rossington as he recovers from emergency heart surgery.” The statement went on to say that Rossington is currently resting and recovering with his family at his home. Yesterday, Lynyrd Skynyrd announced that Rossington was currently at home recovering from emergency heart surgery via Facebook. However, the current tour will have to go on without him. Rossington has carried the Skynyrd torch all these years. He has been in the band from day one and his six-string slinging has been featured on every one of the band’s releases. Today Gary Rossington is the last surviving member of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup. Rossington, Van Zandt, and Collins were the only founding members left in the band. They didn’t land on the name that we all know until 1969. Ronnie Van Zandt handled vocals, Allen Collins and Gary Rossington shared guitar duties, Larry Junstrom played bass and Bob Burns sat behind the drums. However, the group consisted of some familiar faces.
At that time, they called themselves My Backyard. The first iteration of the band formed in 1964. Lynyrd Skynyrd is about as southern as biscuits and gravy or dinner at granny’s on a Sunday.
