Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the bands who changed the face of southern rock with its hits “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Gimme Three Steps.” Rossington was one of the founding members, along with Ronnie Van Zant and Bob Burns.
Tragically, Van Zant and other members of the band were famously killed when the band’s plane crashed in 1977, and Rossington was one of the 20 passengers who survived.
Rossington went on to form The Rossington Band in his later years and continued to tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd a few years before he passed away in 2023.
