Legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd are taking a bow.
The Sweet Home Alabama band announced Thursday they will be headed out on their final tour this summer, according to Rolling Stone.
The tour will kick off in Palm Beach, Fla. on May 4, with stops planned for Toronto on Aug. 11, Dallas, Detroit, Phoenix, Cleveland and more. A final show Sep. 1 in Atlanta will close out the tour.
A number of special guests will join Lynyrd Skynyrd for their farewell tour including Kid Rock, Bad Company, Hank Williams Jr., Charlie Daniels Band and more.
Lynyrd Skynyrd released their first album over 40 years ago and released hits such as Free Bird and Simple Man. In 1977 lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, backup singer Cassie Gaines and guitarist Steve Gaines died in a tragic plane crash.
The band reunited in 1989 with Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie’s brother, taking the reigns as lead singer, touring and recording new albums. Guitarist Gary Rossington is the last original member of the band still performing.
