Lynyrd Skynyrd are in the midst of what they’re calling the Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour. But according to guitarist Gary Rossington, they plan on continuing beyond the last date on their current schedule. On the upcoming episode of AXS TV’s The Big Interview with Dan Rather, Rossington revealed that they have future plans.
“After a few years of doin’ the tour, we’re gonna do a new record,” he said. “So, we won’t go away, but we won’t be touring every year like we do.. It takes a long time to finish a farewell tour when you’re like us, ‘cause we’ve played everywhere and there’s thousands of venues,” he said. “I keep jokin’ it’d take 10 years to do the farewell tour.”
“Gary’s goin’, ‘It’s gonna be a long farewell,'” singer Johnny Van Zant added.
