Comments

I saw them about 5 years ago and he was the only original on stage. Tha only real difference were the vocals, and they weren't bad. But it seemed like a cover band of really talented unknown people. Time to change the name of the band.

He was the last original Skynyrd member, but there's a couple members who were in the band in the 1970s who're still alive. Notably Artimus Pyle, who survived the plane crash, is alive.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the few rock bands where all original members have ascended to rock 'n roll heaven. The Ramones is another.
