Lynyrd Skynyrd Keyboardist Billy Powell Dead

Billy Powell Dead at 56

Billy Powell, the keyboardist for southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, has passed away at the age of 56 according to a message posted on the band’s website.

A Great Loss — Beloved Pianist for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, Billy Powell, passed away last night. We will post more info shortly. The family and band request your respect and understanding during this difficult time. Thank you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Powell family. Surely he is up in a place just as good as his ‘Sweet Home Alabama.’

Having grown up in the south I know of the importance of Lynyrd Skynyrd in the music world and beyond.  Skynyrd is the most popular rock band to ever come out of the south.

So go ahead and leave a comment with your condolences for Billy.
