Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Garry Rossington underwent heart surgery recently, which is why the band was forced to cancel the next few weeks of their current tour. “The Lynyrd Skynyrd band is canceling or rescheduling the next 2 weeks of touring, while Gary Rossington recovers at home from heart surgery to repair blockage in his arteries,” the group announced on its Facebook page. “Currently, the band hopes to resume touring on August 4 in Woodlands, TX. The band has rescheduled Boston, MA at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion to September 23 and moved Big Flats, NY at Tag’s Summer Sound Stage to the following day, September 24. We are continuing to work on other potential re-scheduling, as well. Please stay tuned to the Lynyrd Skynyrd website and social media pages for updates.” Rossington, the only remaining original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, had a heart attack last October that forced them to remove all the remaining 2015 dates from their itinerary.
