'Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary Rossington as he recovers from emergency heart surgery,' Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote.
guitarist Gary Rossington is expected to make a full recovery following an emergency heart surgery, the rock band said on social media.
The 69-year-old musician, Lynyrd Skynyrd's sole surviving original member, is currently at"home resting and recovering with his family" and wants fans to know that he"expects a full recovery," the group wrote Friday onEarlier in the week, Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant told the crowd at Minnesota's Twin Cities Summer Jam that Rossington had to undergo an"emergency stent put in his heart.
"After this past year, the country being shut down and everything we have all been thru, The Rossington’s encouraged the band to go perform in his absence," Lynyrd Skynyrd continued on Facebook."Music is a powerful healer! We all felt playing the shows and bringing the music to y’all was a better option than cancelling the performances.
This isn't the first time Rossington -- who formed Lynyrd Skynyrd with Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Larry Junstrom and Bob Burns in 1964 -- has experienced heart problems. The guitarist suffered a heart attack in October 2015 and had to undergo emergency heart surgery the following year. The band was also forced to postpone shows in 2019 while he had a heart valve repaired.
