Their fiery three-guitar attack, heartfelt songwriting, and electrifying stage presence earned them a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts of the 1970s. Tragedy struck in 1977, when flying to a gig in Baton Rouge, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and his sister, backing singer Cassie Gaines, as well as their road manager, perished in the crash, leaving the surviving band members severely injured. However, the band's story didn't end. Rising again a decade later, Lynyrd Skynyrd entered a new era with fresh energy, new memb
