Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington dies, band confirms
Gary Rossington, guitarist and songwriter for Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died, the band confirmed Sunday. He was 71.
“It is with our deepest sympathy and sadness that we have to advise, that we lost our brother, friend, family member, songwriter and guitarist, Gary Rossington, today,” a post on the band’s Facebook page reads. “Gary is now with his Skynyrd brothers and family in heaven and playing it pretty, like he always does.”

So is Old Ironsides.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
