Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/a> are stretching their farewell tour to \u201cFreebird\u201d-sized proportions by adding dozens of new summer dates. The group announced its Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour<\/a> last year, and will resume it this year with a set at the Stagecoach festival. Cody Jinks, Hank Williams, Jr. and Bad Company will each appear with them on select dates. Tickets will go on sale on February 8th at 10 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a long time to finish a farewell tour when you\u2019re like us, \u2019cause we\u2019ve played everywhere,\u201d guitarist Gary Rossington told Dan Rather in an interview last year. \u201cI keep jokin\u2019 it\u2019d take ten years to do the farewell tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rossington, at this point, is the band\u2019s only survivor. The tour\u2019s lineup also features vocalist Johnny Van Zant (brother of the group\u2019s late founding singer, Ronnie Van Zant) and guitarist Rickey Medlocke, who played mandolin and other instruments in the group in the early Seventies before rejoining to play guitar in the mid Nineties, among others. The group originally called it quits after an October 1977 plane crash<\/a> killed Ronnie, guitarist-vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines and members of the group\u2019s crew. They regrouped in 1987 and have put out nine full-lengths, including a Christmas album, since then.<\/p>\n

Late last year, the plane crash was the subject of a federal lawsuit. Heirs of Van Zant and Gaines sought to block the release of Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash<\/em>, which depicts the crash and features commentary by former drummer and crash survivor Artimus Pyle. The heirs argued that releasing the film violated a 1988 \u201cblood oath,\u201d in which band members allegedly agreed not to exploit the crash. A federal appeals court, however, deemed the film\u2019s release legal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
