It's strange to think that Johnny Van Zant has now been with the band more than twice as long as his brother was.

He and Ronnie are jamming in Heaven....Ronnie's brother put a nice spin on it.

RIP.

Bummer! That cat could really tickle the ivories

rip.

RIP. Billy's piano contributed to the unique sound of Skynyrd. He and Ronnie will be hooking up with the other lost members for some great jams.

RIP bud, the bands getting lesser by the year.

it's such a shame they had to go out the way they did.

SeanGAR · 01-28-2009, 12:22 PM

Damn ... what a bummer.

His ivory tickling on call me the breeze was absolutely mindblowing.

Play it Billy

My favorite band, all time.

man that sucks, Skynyrd is my favorite band, 56 is way to young

Starscream · 01-28-2009, 02:30 PM

I'm gonna go listen to Freebird.

RIP

BarneyBandMan · 01-28-2009, 03:01 PM

Bummed. Thankful he got 30+ bonus years after the plane crash. Time for some "One More From the Road"...sigh

Flatsix · 01-28-2009, 03:27 PM

Sad....

Saw the Street Survivors tour in L.A. in the 70's. The band was on the money that day. I still remember Freebird.

Rest in Peace

I was just listening to Freebird before I found this thread.

RIP.

they were just advertising a cruise with Skynyrd on the radio, wonder if it's cancelled.
