Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant say’s that the band will winding down their liver performances soon. Fellow founding member Gary Rossington is currently dealing with health issues and is off the road. During an interview with The Florida Times Union, Van Zant said “We’re still looking at hanging it up in the next year or so. We’re going to retire from touring.” He went on to add, “Musicians never retire, you just do less shows. You really miss it. You miss your fans. I’ll probably always do something. . . . I’ve worked my whole life. It’s just in my nature to get out and do something. I love music and I’ve been blessed, but I can’t think of me turning my back. As long as I can write a song, I’m definitely doing that.”
