Hey Readers, Yesterday we lost the last remaining member of Lynyrd Skynyrd's original lineup, guitarist Gary Robert Rossington. He was 71 years old. Source: Owen Sweeney/Invision/AP Known mainly for his tenure with Lynyrd Skynrd, he became a prominent figure in the Southern rock community. The legacy he leaves behind just from that will continue to impact people in the music world for years to come. He was also a member of the Rossington Band as well as the Rossington Collins Band, and had been active as a musician from 1964 all the way up to his death. As it stands, no cause of death has been reported as of this moment. I will update this statement as more information comes to light. Please remember respect the privacy of his loved ones, friends, and former band members as they grieve during this time. Stay well. - Olive Grace

Today we remember guitarist Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt on the 11th anniversary of his passing.  Source: Michael Putland/Getty Images Reinhardt was mainly known as a member of Iron Butterfly and Captain Beyond, however, he was in numerous bands throughout his career. These include the Load, the Second Coming, the Ryno Band, and Mad Dancer, as well as a solo career. He was active as a musician until 2011, save for the time he temporarily retired from the music industry during the '90s.  Just short of a year after his final album was released, Reinhardt passed away at the age of 63 due to cirrhosis of the liver.  Today is a great day to listen to the music made by this psychedelic and southern rock legend. Are you a fan of his work? Happy listening.
