Ronnie Van Zant (R.I.P.) – lead vocals
Gary Rossington (R.I.P.) – guitar
Allen Collins (R.I.P.) – guitar
Ed King (R.I.P.) – guitar, backing vocals
Leon Wilkeson (R.I.P.) – bass, backing vocals
Bob Burns (R.I.P.) – drums
Billy Powell (R.I.P.) – keyboards, piano

Ronnie Van Zant died October 20, 1977 in a plane crash, he was 29.
Gary Rossington died March 5, 2023 no cause was given, he was 71
Allen Collins died January 23, 1990 from chronic pneumonia, due to paralysis, he was 37
Ed King died August 22, 2018 after battling cancer, he was 68
Leon Wilkeson died July 27, 2001 from chronic liver and lung disease, he was 49
Bob Burns died April 30, 2015 in a single car crash close to home, he was 64
Billy Powell died January 28, 2009 from a heart attack, he was 56


I shed tears when I heard The Last Freebird Has Flown Home, Gary Rossington Has Died At Age 71. He had been suffering from heart problems, so I guess that a heart attack was the cause since none was given. The members Lynyrd Skynyrd have been through the ringer when it comes to band tragedy. The airplane crash of 1977 was just the beginning. From Allen Collins' paralysis from a car crash and death from pneumonia to the many heath problems to plague survivors of the crash.

This great Pr-FM has an awesome sound and features 5 as of that time unreleased songs. Second Helping was not recorded yet and "Woman of Mine" never was released on a studio album. There is actually not a lot of recorded sources for the rare track so Do Not Miss This Tribute to not only Gary Rossington but every member of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band.
