Three lineups of Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1973 (top), 1977 (middle) and 2008 (bottom).

Lynyrd Skynyrd is a Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Formed in 1964, the group originally included vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, bassist Larry Junstrom and drummer Bob Burns. The group split up in 1977 following a plane crash which resulted in the deaths of three band members including Van Zant, and serious injuries to other band members.

The band reformed in 1987 with Van Zant's younger brother Johnny on vocals alongside members of the 1970s lineup. This was originally planned to be for a single tour, but the band has remained active since. The current lineup features guitarist and vocalist Rickey Medlocke (from 1971 to 1972, and since 1996), lead vocalist Johnny Van Zant (since 1987), backing vocalists Dale Krantz-Rossington (since 1987) and Carol Chase (since 1996), drummer Michael Cartellone (since 1999), guitarist Mark Matejka (since 2006), keyboardist Peter Keys (since 2009), guitarist Damon Johnson (since 2021) and bassist Robbie Harrington (since 2025).
