Rock and Roll Garage

The classic Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle, who was a member of the band from 1974 to 1977, was one of the survivors of the horrific plane crash that killed several members of the band, crew members, and flight attendants. He was also part of the band's return from 1987 to 1991, when he left the band for good. He is back on the road in 2026 and announced several concerts in the United States this August, September, October and November. "Playing the music, I get emotional sometimes in the middle of a set doing a certain song. Tears will come to my eyes. It quickly passes because I'm busy, you know, playing these songs. No two Lynyrd Skynyrd songs are the same. There's no drum parts that are exactly the same on any Skynyrd song. Every one is different, and it's a challenge. And I accept that challenge and love doing it. And so you know, APB to me, has saved my life, and kept me alive," he told Ultimate Classic Rock.
