Gary Rossington
Gary Rossington, founding member and guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, is recovering at home following heart surgery on Thursday (Oct. 8).
Rossington suffered a heart attack last week, although he is expected to make a full recovery, according to the band’s management.
The band’s next concert will take place on Nov. 7 in Montgomery, Ala. Refunds are being offering for a cancelled show in Terre Haute, Ind., originally scheduled for Friday (Oct. 16). However, a concert in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., originally set for Saturday will be rescheduled for 2016.
In a statement, Rossington said:
“I just wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes and support. I am feeling better and taking it one day at a time and getting excellent care and support from my doctor and family.
I will be back before you know it!
It’s gonna take more than a lil ole heart attack to keep me down… Much love and see you all soon!” -Gary
