NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) Lynyrd Skynyrd, after 40 years on stage and more than 60 albums, is hanging it up.
The Southern Rock icons will kick off the “Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour,” produced by Live Nation, May 4 at Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach Fla., The last show will be, of course, in Atlanta at the Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood Sept. 1. The tour will be composed of Friday and Saturday shows, and special guests will include Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr., Bad Company, Marshall Tucker Band, 38 Special, Blackberry Smoke and Blackfoot.
“It’s hard to imagine, after all these years, the band that Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins and myself started back in Jacksonville, would resonate for this long and to so many generations of fans. I’m certain they are looking down from above, amazed that the music has touched so many,” said Gary Rossington, original and founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Lead vocalist, Johnny Van Zant added, “We’ve been blessed by these great songs and the messages they carry to the fans. It’s been a true honor to try and fill in my brother’s footsteps for the past 31 years, keeping the music and his spirit, alive.”
