TheLiveSoundGuy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ean Evans, who took over on bass in 2001 following the death of founding member Leon Wilkeson, has himself died following a short battle with cancer. After joining the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers' lineup, the Mississippi resident toured extensively with Skynyrd through last year, when he was diagnosed with the disease, prompting frontman Johnny Van Zant to ask fans to keep Evans in their prayers. Evans' death follows the January passing of keyboardist Billy Powell of an apparent heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Eye have worked with them many many times and they are the nicest bunch of guys you could imagine It truly is a shame what they have gone through and still keep going. One of my truly great moments in the music industry was playing Allan Collins '58 Explorer that is now played by Rickey Medlocke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
