I thought they were on their final tour, something tells me they will be back on the road for a FINAL final tour.
Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant said the band was so far into writing a new album that it was effectively “in the can.”
“We have an album in the can really, to be honest,” Van Zant told Madness to Creation in a recent interview. “We have a bunch of songs that we’re all the time writing … probably after this tour we’ll have that album, do a studio thing.”
“The crowds have been just great,” he reported. “It’s been fun and sad at the same time to know that some of these places are the last time we’ll play there. But hey, all good things come to an end, right? … We have a lot of places we still want to hit. We’ll probably make another run sometime through Europe and down to Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.”
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Johnny van Zant also has a bucket list. On the list he mentioned he would like to do a gospel album. He’d also like to “maybe make a blues record. I’ve done a couple of country albums. But I’d love to do those things before I go on to the mighty big heaven up in the sky too.”
He has a long bucket list. I wish them the very best!
