Incredible Keyboard arrangements he did.
This is the 3rd of the survivors of the plane wreck to die a young death. I think the band is cursed or something. Of the two remaining members of the best known line up only Rossington is leading the good life and he himself had an issue with heart problems but was lucky enough to get it treated. The drummer is still alive but but I guess had an issue with child molestation.

I saw the original Skynyrd line-up live in Shreveport, La. just a few months before the plane crash. In fact, I have a copy of the original "Street Survivors" LP with the flames surrounding the band. The LP was re-issued after the crash sans the flames. Very ominous.
