Lynyrd Skynyrd Set to Tour with Kid Rock
Lynyrd Skynyrd Set to Tour with Kid Rock, New Album for Release Late 09
The southern blues-rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd will be joining Kid Rock for a second year of their ‘Rock & Rebels’ Tour in June 09. The groups will be kicking off in West Palm Beach, Florida on June 26, to follow with shows in 19 other U.S. cities.
In addition to their upcoming tour, Lynyrd Skynyrd has recently signed a recording contract with Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records to release a new album by the end of this year. The album has not yet been scheduled, but it is estimated to be out by late 2009.
Skynyrd’s last studio album ‘Vicious Cycle’ was released on May 2003; a record that no longer included the musicianship of Leon Wilkenson, who died of lung and liver disease in a Florida hotel in 2001.
Once again, the band will be recording a new album remembering fallen fellow musician, Billly Powell. Powell was a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, songwriter and keyboardist to the band since 1972. He passed away this last January 28th, of a heart attack – making him the 7th member in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s history to pass on.
Nevertheless, Lynyrd Skynyrd has always went on to continue the show, determined to fulfill the wishes of their departed band-mates.
