Lynyrd Skynyrd Say Goodbye With Last Of The Street Survivors Tour

They've been around for over 40 years and have released more than 60 albums, but the rock and roll heroes have finally reached the end of the road. They're ready to go out in style, however, with a North American tour spanning four months.

'It's hard to imagine, after all these years, the band that Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins and myself started back in Jacksonville, would resonate for this long and to so many generations of fans', original member Gary Rossington said in a statement. 'I'm certain they are looking down from above, amazed that the music has touched so many.'

'We've been blessed by these great songs and the messages they carry to the fans', added frontman Johnny Van Zant. 'It's been a true honor to try and fill in my brother's footsteps for the past 31 years, keeping the music and his spirit alive.'

The shows are set to begin with a stop at West Palm Beach's Coral Sky Amphitheatre on May 4th, concluding at Atlanta's Cellairis Amphitheatre on September 1st. There will also be a number of special guests including the likes of Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr., Charlie Daniels Band, Bad Company, Marshall Tucker Band, 38 Special, Blackberry Smoke and Blackfoot.

Lynyrd Skynyrd released their last album, 'Last of a Dyin' Breed' in 2012, and their tour name is split between that and their 1977 hit record 'Street Survivors'.

Since their 1977 hiatus came to an end in 1987, the band have barely stopped touring, which makes it all the more shocking and saddening that they are finally hanging up their guitars. We can expect astounding final live renditions of 'Sweet Home Alabama' and their signature song 'Free Bird'.
