Ean Evans, the bassist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died after a long battle with cancer.
It's the second death in the storied band this year. In January, Billy Powell, the former keyboardist, also died.

8. They performed their entire set drapped in the Confederate Flag! As far as I'm concerned, one less artist!
But Sweet Home Alabama is a decent song...

10. Best Band ever! But the original bass player died a few years ago the Mad Hatter. The only original member left I think is Gary Rosssington & he had a by-pass a couple years ago. But they are still good in concert as long as they are doing the old Skynyrd stuff.
