Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Gary Rossington Recovering at Home After Surgery

Gary Rossington, founding member and guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, is recovering at home following heart surgery on Thursday (Oct. 8).

Rossington suffered a heart attack last week, although he is expected to make a full recovery, according to the band’s management.

The band’s next concert will take place on Nov. 7 in Montgomery, Ala. Refunds are being offering for a cancelled show in Terre Haute, Ind., originally scheduled for Friday (Oct. 16). However, a concert in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., originally set for Saturday will be rescheduled for 2016.

In a statement, Rossington said:

“I just wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes and support. I am feeling better and taking it one day at a time and getting excellent care and support from my doctor and family.

I will be back before you know it!

It’s gonna take more than a lil ole heart attack to keep me down… Much love and see you all soon!” -Gary
