Hi, the sentence "Rossington, the last original member of the band, died on March 5, 2023, though no cause of death was given" seems odd, due to the "though", I guess. Almost as if he died without cause. "Rossington, the last original member of the band, died on March 5, 2023, with no statement given on the cause of death"? Not native EN speaker, so pls. consider.

Rossington though dead is still listed as a touring member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.2.178.30 ( talk) 06:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Skynyrd formed in the summer of 1966, i have edited and supplied references before, but it was rejected, the info on this wiki page is hardly accurate, Rickey was not a founding member, Bob Burns left the band in the spring of 1971, Rickey was bought in to replace him. i can help with references to this info, from multiple sources, incuding Charlie Hagrett of Blackfoot also confirms this info.
Rickey Medlocke joined the band 5 years after they were formed, , it is well documented, in many books and movie documenteries, the Bob Burns was the founding Member, Rickey Medlock Joined in Late Spring of 1971, and was last seen with the band on April 10th 1972, Travis1969 ( talk) 19:02, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
It says that Van Zant, Rossington, and Burns formed a band in early summer. The very next paragraph says the three met through baseball and formed a band in late summer. I’m not familiar enough with the band’s history to dare to edit this 2607:9880:21C7:FF35:B86A:6794:6DD2:3AE5 ( talk) 19:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
The last sentence in the fourth paragraph under the subtitle “Member changes and deaths (1996–2019)” seems run-on, subsequently doesn’t make sense, and needs editing: "The band also released a double collection album called Thyrty, which had songs from the original lineup to the present, and also a live DVD of their Vicious Cycle Tour and on June 22, 2004, the album Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyve: The Vicious Cycle Tour.
