Larry Junstrom Dead: Lynyrd Skynyrd Bassist Dies At 70 | Billboard


A lot of great songs with both those groups!



"Lynyrd Skynyrd founding member and longtime .38 Special bassist Larry Junstrom has died at age 70.
The news was announced on the .38 Special Facebook page, where the band paid tribute to "The Big Man on the Big Bass." In a loving note to their longtime bandmate, the band wrote, "He rocked arenas all over the world and succeeded in living his dream. He was truly one of a kind, a congenial traveling companion and a great friend to all with a humorous slant on life that always kept our spirits high - a kind man with a big heart for everyone who crossed his path. There will never be another like him." The cause of death was not announced at press time."

Sad news. I hung out with him at a watering hole two times. We both almost did ourselves an injury from laughing.

Stuff like that stays with a person.

Skynyrd rocked! Sadly, looks like more old rockers are getting close. Quite a few in the last few weeks.

Sorry to hear this news. I think they were on their farewell tour. They deserve the rest. They were a hard working band. Saw them three times. Good shows.

Sad that the time has come that we're losing so many of the musicians that were a bug part of our lives.
