Originally known by the name My Back Yard, Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1964. The group spent five years performing local shows and touring smaller US venues before changing its name in 1969, marking the next phase for the band. Their eponymous debut album, which was released in 1973, brought the band instant success, selling over one million copies and launching the seminal single "Free Bird". The next four years were a period of huge success for the group, who launched a number of classic hits, including "Sweet Home Alabama," "Simple Man," "What's Your Name," "That Smell," "Gimme Three Steps," via five studio albums and one live album. Then, in 1977, tragedy struck when, just three days after the release of their album Street Survivors, their chartered airplane crashed, resulting in the death of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines, and leaving the rest of the band seriously injured. After a decade, the band reformed with Ronnie Van Zant’s brother Johnny as lead vocalist and since then they have continued to tour and record. The group had planned for their 2018 Last of the Street Survivors Tour to be their farewell outing, but in June 2021 they announced that they would hit the road once more on the Big Wheels Keep on Turnin’ Tour.
