Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd‘s last surviving original member who also helped to found the group, has died at the age of 71, with no cause of death given.
“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,” the band wrote on Facebook on Sunday. “Gary is now with his Skynyrd brothers and family in heaven and playing it pretty, like he always does.”
