- The last surviving original member of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, guitarist and songwriter Gary Rossington, died Sunday.
- Rossington survived a 1976 car accident in which he drove his Ford Torino into a tree, before surviving the horrific 1977 plane crash in which six people on board were killed, including lead vocalist and founding member Ronnie van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and the two pilots. Rossington suffered two broken legs, arms, ankles, and a shattered pelvis. In 2003, Rossington had quintuple bypass surgery and then a critical heart attack in 2015.
