Rest in peace, Billy Powell. You will be missed.

RIP. One of the greatest keyboard players.

That is the second great keyboardist we have lost in the last few months. Rick Wright of Pink Floyd and now Billy Powell.

A sad, sad day in Rock-n-Roll

This is definantly a sad day in Rock n Roll! RIP Billy, we love ya!

This article really downplays his role in the plane crash. Billy was credited for saving bandmates lives by pulling them from the wreckage.

Sad day indeed- only 56!!! Way too young!

Bye and Bye Billy it’s been a sweet love

Not to mention Danny Federici last April.

I think,the most underated keyboard player of all time!

WE WILL MISS YOU MAN!

So very sad. I met Mr Powell and the band in 1977, just days before the crash when they played in Statesboro Ga.
It’s raining all over the south today for you Billy. You will be missed.

Billy…Sorry to see you go so soon…thanks for the good times, the great piano, and the music! Rest in peace… condolences to the family and the band…May the blessing be..

play it pretty for the lord jesus…

A very sad day! RIP Billy. You are free as a bird now!

“Freebird” will NEVER be the same without Billy’s intro! A great pianist, and person. He will be missed. Condolences to his family. We’re down to Gary now. RIP Billy, and say hey to all the Freebirds up there with you!

Birmingham, AL

If theres a rock n roll heaven, they just got one of the best keyboardists in rock history. You can bet Billy is jamming with Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, and Leon!
Godspeed Billy RIP

rip billy, you made skynyrd have the sound. best keys i ever listened too.

Walk forward from this place in peace.

Lightfoot said it, “one of the most underated…” Also, a Christian man and one of rock’s true gentlemen. Another Free Bird flies home. Say hello to Ronnie and the rest for us. RIP Billy.

Always loved the way Billy played the keys…Always will remember his legendary run through the woods to get help after the plane crash..He will sadly be missed…Maybe Artmis will play with Gary again…..REST IN PEACE

I hate it so much to loose Billy.The real Skynyrd is almost gone,hang in there Gary,love ya man!

Terrible loss. Rest in peace brother! Ronnie and co are waiting for you in R&R heaven.

Hope you are warm, and happy, and in heaven.

You gave us a little heaven on Earth with your work.

Gone are all the cares of this world.

my son’s first concert this year… Grateful he got to experience that this year. Fovever in our hearts.
Ronnie will be waitin’ in his bear feet for you to heat up the stage in heaven.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Skynyrd Family it was a prevlige to sail with them on the Simpleman Cruise and Billy was as great as ever He will truly be missed by me and my husband Jerry

Fly on high now Billy, you are now a FREEBIRD!! I know you are now with Ronnie, Steve,Cassie, Leon,and Dean!
You will be missed by all who love you!
My thoughts and prayers will be with your frynds and family through their pain and loss right now.

God Bless you Billy!
Love,
Annie TinaMarie

And Allen as well is there with you Billy!! We will never forget you!!

Truly devastated. Is there an error in the article? Billy didn’t start with them til 72 and didn’t Ricky Medlock start out as their drummer?? That would make Ricky and Gary the lone surviving original members. Anyone got answers?

oh! f*^ck, man… Jeez…

I’m so glad I got to go on the SIMPLEMAN CRUISE Jan 8-12 and got my picture taken with Billy and the band. They are the nicest most down-to-earth people anyone could have EVER meet. White loafers with no socks and big dark sunglasses was the way Billy rolled. God rest your soul baby.
Your friend Priscilla

ONLY GARY IS LEFT SO SAD FLY FREE BIRD FLY REST IN HEAVEN

ONLY GARY IS LEFT SO SAD FLY FREE BIRD FLY REST IN HEAVEN

ONLY GARY IS LEFT SO SAD FLY FREE BIRD FLY REST IN HEAVEN

YOU will be missed! Rest In Peace!Seen you 18 times sine 1977!
See you again!

billy was no doubt the best keyboard player ever. so sad and you will definitely be missed. a bird that cannot change. love you man

I had the great priviledge of seeing this band in concert twice. he was the most amazing pianist i have ever seen. the band will not be the same without him. i grew up with this music, & will be listening to skynyrd all day in remembrence of Billy. it’s a sad day. concolences to Billy’s family and his band mates.

Billy Powell is one of the main reasons I play piano today. I am beyond bummed… RIP, Billy.

RIP BILLY,YOU PLAYED IT PRETTY!
YOU WILL BE MISSED.

No, Ed King is still around, so that two.

I received a phone call this morning saying our promo was off for the Skynyrd Biloxi show this Saturday. After gearing all the Skynyrd fans up out there, it was so hard to have to relay the sad sad news to them. The calls have been pouring in with Skynyrd fans sharing their heartfelt feelings. Billy will be missed immensely! We hold Billy Powell up with highest honor and will keep the Powell family as well as the Skynyrd family in our hearts and prayers. May you rest in peace my friend.

Ed King was not an “original Skynyrd member” and he left in 1975.

Actually, there are 4 originals left: Gary, Ricky, Ed King and original drummer Bob Burns.. as usual, Rolling Stone does not know what they are talking about.

RIP Billy.. you were the one of the best southern keyboardists around.. I hope ARS’s Dean Daughtry is up to taking over the mantle.

Actually the original drummer who I have met is Bob Burns… to my knowledge he is still living…

billy powell has his on style that noone can clone we will miss him.

We on this Earth just lost one of the greatest keyboardist of all times. I hope Rolling Stone devotes a major section to Billy Powell posthumously. He, like the rest of the superb musicians in Lynyrd Skynryd who were so often slighted by the magazine, deserves better. A 1/4 page tribute just won’t get it for a musician of this magnitude. Think it about Jann!

What a great loss to the R&R world.Nobody tickled the ivory’s
like Billy in that Sweet Southern style.God be with you Billy and your Huge family.RIP

Met him at the mall of america and when I asked him who Tuesday was all he could do was laugh. He is missed.

Was Bob Burns still in the group when the band name changed to Lynyrd Skynyrd? He was definitely in the pre-Skynyrd original band lineup, but I thought he left before returning later.

LS became my favorite band because of Billy on piano and remained so for 28 years. Saw many times in concert and Gimme 3 days cruise. I never cried when a famous person died before, but this brings tears to my eyes! Now I don’t mind dyin cuz the LS band will be there.

I was lucky enough to meet Billy inm 1987 in CAmbridge, MA (a now defunct club called Jonathan Swifts). He played on a double bill withj Mark Farner (Grand Funk) and I met Billy before the show and he was the coolest and nicest guys to me and all around. A true gentleman (as was Farner too) and I will miss him!!

You played it pretty Dude! And you will never be forgotten. Thank You Billy. RIP

As a self-taught keyboardist, Billy Powell was and is still my all-time favorite. His style unlike no other, inspired me in so many ways and he will always be one of the most influential people in my life. Losing Billy saddens me greatly, but I know he’s in a better place now. Rest in Peace Billy. I love ya and thanks for the many many years of your great talent and inspiration. You will be missed but never forgotten. Peace – Damon C -

fly high free byrd

Rest in peace Billy, tell the boys I’m coming soon.

Noooooo. I sit at my desk a greatly saddened man today.
Thankfully I have seen him perform several times, but as a fan of Skynyrd from the 70’s straight through to now, I am truly heartbroken.
To his family, friends, and bandmates… He meant so much to so many, and we all hope he is jamming again with the rest of Skynyrd up in heaven.
Sad, sad day.

Time to get Ed King & Bob Burns or Artimus Pyle back, so they’re not all replacements. R.I.P. Billy.

fly high, you sure played it pretty for pittsburgh every time i saw ya!

pittsburgh was always a favorite spot on the skynyrd tour. Billys waving a terrible towel and watching the big game. god bless

pittsburgh was always a favorite spot on the skynyrd tour. Billys waving a terrible towel and watching the big game. god bless

Ricky Medlock is a guitarist, not a drummer, and he wasn’t an original member. RIP Billy

This is as tragic as when Elvis died. “Billy Powell on the piano” will live forever in the minds of true Skynyrd fans. I have met and talked to Billy on several different occassions when they played in West Virginia and he always would give you as much of his time and talk about anything you wanted to discuss. God broke the mold after Billy was made and there never will be another. Play that beautiful music throughout Heaven Billy. We all love you and will truly miss you. Please pray for Ellen and his entire family, both at home and with the band.

There will never be another one like him. The “Free Bird” is now free. It will never be played the same.

rip to billy the finest on key boards ever

rip to billy the finest on key boards ever

rip to billy the finest on key boards ever

the very finest on the key boards ever

Ricky Did start w/Skynyrd on drums. RIP Billy

Here’s hoping that Billy is “free as a bird now”

Rest In Peace

Now Billy, Ronny, Allen, Steve, and Cassie will be rockin’ heven. You guys will live on in our hearts. Thank you for all the great music.

Thanks for the music. RIP Billy

Thankyou Billy,for making southern rock what it is. Play it pretty for the Big Man!

Rickey DID start with Skynyrd on drums. He plays on some of “Skynyrd’s First & Last” as well as drums and lead vocals on “Skynyrd’s First & Last” (the remastered & complete cd version).

A great talent. Here’s hoping you and Ronnie hook up again.

Thanks for the great music!
No spirit like yours could ever die!
May God comfort your family and friends in this unfortunate time!

What a sad loss with Billy Powell gone now.

Doesn’t the current bass player have cancer now?

Not sure what to say. Do glad I saw LS and will never forget the chills brough upon me when hearing Billy’s opening Freebird licks. This band never ever got the credit they deserved. Fly on home Billy. I’m sure Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Dean, Leon, Allen had the stage set up and your piano tuned and ready for you.

The True southern rock fan have suffered a great loss.The way you played will never be forgotten. We will miss you Billy Heaven must truley have one hell of a band now.RIP my old friend

WHAT A LOSS. WHAT TALENT. MY HEART FELT SORROW TO THE FAMILY AND BAND OF FRIENDS. GOD BLESSES BILLY.

Billy sometimes flew under the radar, but not for us. We are deeply saddened and ache hard. Keep hoping this is a dream

R.I.P. Freebird! Condolences and prayers to the Family. Such a terrible loss! We will all miss you,Billy. Play on in that Rock & Roll Heaven!

The greatest rock and roll keyboardist I ever saw. I saw them at Winterland March 5, 1976. Amazing concert

A so so pianist. I never cared for his pettiness regarding the hoped-for return of drummer Artimus Pyle to the band.

My favorite keyboardist of all time! I saw Billy/Skynyrd last summer at the PNC arts center in NJ. You will be for ever missed.
God bless…

Fly on Freebird. Gods band just keeps gettin better play it pretty for Duane when you see him!

Met them when they gave our family free front side tix and backstage access to a concert in Houston. Billy and Leon were the coolest,kindest guys.
Love you,bro, and say hello to the family for us in HEAVEN!

I saw the original band ,when i was a teenager Billy Powell was a great keyboard player R.I.P Billy, My thoughts are with his family the band and all the fans, Another sad day in music.

You haven’t lived unless it was while doing 90 down the highway listening to those incredible keyboards.

We will all miss you Billy…

My deepest sympathy to the family of Billy powell.Being a Florida resident from the 80’s myself,I still listen to them.What a legend!!Thanks for the memories!!GOD BLESS YOU!!

Another one of boy’s are gone. sad to here. Billy, you were always a great one in the band. God Bless You.

Talent is a gift to you from god. What you do with that talent is your gift to god.
Billy, I guarantee, god smiled everytime you played.
God bless you, your family and the everyone in the Skynyrd Universe.
I’ll catch up to you a little later on.

Rest in peace, Billy you will be missed. God bless you, your family, friends and fans.

Billy was a hero to me. I loved his style. Rest in peace old friend. I was in college in Va when I first hear him play and it was there that I heard about the free bird crash. My prayers for them now echo the ones from way back then. You all will be missed.

I was just watching the Old Grey Whistle Test dvd (The BBC show) with a classic LS performance last night and I was thinking just how underrated Skynyrd are… and now this. So many people only know them by the hits- but they are all remarkably talented..

RIP BILLY. Long live LONG HAIR n Skynyrd. Southern rock n roll forever.

what a huge loss for everyone that knew him in any way. i was lucky enough to see the ‘87 reunion and before that, an early 80s tour by the rossington-collins band. thanks for the great memories.

RIP Billy.

I’m sure that in the past few months, Billy had the time of his life with the resurgence from Kid Rocks’ hit. He deserved the accolades once again and from a whole new generation of kids…

God Bless em and all the fans too in this hard time…

I Have Followed Lynyrd Skynyrd most of my adult life from the early 1970,s saw them at a concert in asbury park n. j. the same year time stopped (77). Hopefully When i get to heaven I’LL Get Ronnie,s and Billys Autographs and the Rest of the Band Fly on FREEBIRD

Rest in peace, Billy.

R.I.P. Billy you will be missed. Got the chance to go on 2 cruises with LS, and got to meet everyone, and they are all Great people. Play it pretty for em in Heaven. Till we meet again.

Gary you have a legion of fans holdin you up. Billy you’re a free bird now… RIP.

What a Great, Talented man. You set the bar way high for all who play keys.
And yes, you played it pretty..
RIP

RIP Billy. Had the pleasure of seeing you in London and Dublin.Very sad news

Your talent will be so very missed. I loved listening to you play. Nobody played the keyboard like you!

I’m only 28 and not many people in my family have passed away. I’ve been listening to bands like Skynyrd and Pink Floyd since I was 16. When members of the band die I feel like a small part of what I grew up with has move on as well.

Tragedy continues to haunt this great band – undoubtedly one of America’s best rock ‘n roll groups (they are more than just a southern rock band). Billy had the chops but he, in many ways, was also the heart of Skynyrd, as we currently know them. To lose him is just as devastating as it would have been had we lost Gary Rossington. Because though Skynyrd is known to so many as a classic guitar band, without Billy’s piano and keys, it wouldn’t been the same nor had the same impact. I can’t imagine the band continuing now, but we will see. When Billy was interviewed on TV while in bandages, bruised and cut after the infamous plane crash that took Ronnie, Steve and Cassie he was asked if Lynyrd Skynyrd would continue, and he respectfully answered: “I don’t think so.” Yet we know they did continue, bringing their music and amazing live concert prowess to millions all over the world. We don’t know how the band moves forward from this immense loss, but we can only hope that whatever it is they do, that it will keep the memories of Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Leon and now Billy in high regard and with deep respect. R.I.P. Billy Powell.

Any time you are at a concert,a bar, karaoke, seeing a band….etc. When someone yells out “FREE BIRD” for a request or even as a joke- There is no greater tribute to Billy, Ronnie and the boys… RIP Billy.. Timeless music lives on.

YOU WERE MY FAVORITE BILLY! I’LL MISS YOU.

“Free Bird” was my class song when I graduated High School in 1995. Free bird flies on forever. Billy, we love you.

Rest easy Brother Powell. As a huge fan, what can I say…Billy, you were one of the greatest keyboardist in the world and I wish your family and friends love, strength and warm thoughts always. Billy, one more thing…BRAVO AND THANK YOU! ’til we meet again.

Godspeed my Brother Billy.

Godspeed my Brother Billy.

Godspeed my Brother Billy.

It’s such a sad day of BILL POWELL
passing away.I pray for his family
and LYNYRD SKYNYRD and their fans.
I hope that Judy Van Zant will put
out a dvd video set of complete
shows from the 70’s.RIP BILLY and
FLY ON FREEBIRD.

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU BILLY YOU WERE THE BEST.ME AND ALL OF SKYNYRD NATION ARE GRIEVING.I HOPE GOD SEES FIT TO KEEP GARY WITH US A GREAT WHILE LONGER SO WE HAVE A PIECE OF THAT SKYNYRD MAGIC TO HOLD ONTO.ERIC AND PAWPAW LOVE YOU ALL.

Rest in Peace Billy. Say hello to ronnie for me….

Rest in Peace Billy. Say hell to Ronnie for me…

Rest in Peace Billy. Say hello to Ronnie for me…

RIP brother Billy, so glad to have had the chance to see the band in the “day”

Another Skynyrd tragedy. I am very sorry to hear of this loss from the music world. Rest In Peace Free Bird…

So long Billy,Tuesday is now truly gone.

i love you billy thanks for everything go on high up that mountain,with ronnie now rip

so it goes…..I’m sure Ronnie is glad to see you while we’ll miss you here.

RIP Billy.

Rickey Medlocke was behind the drumkit the night Ronnie Van Zant announced from the stage that the band’s name would be Lynyrd Skynyrd. So yes, that does make him an original member. Rickey left Skynyrd before they hit it big, had a great run with his group Blackfoot, then was invited by Gary Rossington to rejoin in 1996 as a lead guitarist.

Brother Billy,
With tears in my eye, I write this. As a 46 yr old man who has been following you since 1977, I can say I felt the tragedy of losing a family member when I read of your passing. I had the pleasure of seeing Skynyrd twice in 2008, the last at the Harley davidson 105 in Milwaukee. Billy, you were lights out that night! I will forever remember you on the pedestal turning in circles and the sound of your piano filling the night sky as you pounded out free bird! Rest in peace free bird, the world has lost a terrific man!

Billy, you played it pretty for Atlanta and the rest of the world. Play it pretty in heaven my brother. An amazing musician and class act. Your legacy is within the hearts and minds of all who loved your music. Rest well, Billy, Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Leon, Allen and Dean. God Bless you all and the joy you each brought to my life.

BILLY PUT THE HONK IN HONKYTONK PIANO PLAYIN , Ronnie was the heart and Billy was definitely a main vein that pumped the blood to that heart. Ronnie must have convinced the good Lord he needed a piano player so fly on freebird i’ll surely miss you.

The man was on borrowed time and very lucky that he didn’t die in the plane crash that claimed so many of his bandmates. He seems to have spent his second chance doing what he loved to do. That’s all you could ask and continued to provide Skynard fans with the music they love. Godspeed.

What a sad day for the Skynyrd Nation. I got hooked on LS back in ‘73-’74 when I heard Free Bird for the very first time. BP’s talent’s drew you in and the rest of the band kept you there! When you listen to the the music closely
you really hear how talented they are. The truely have been underrated in regards to their talent and their contributions to music as a whole. Billy we’re really going to miss you. I know God, Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Dean, Allen and Leon are ready to jam. RIP

Ricky-Ed- Artimus, you need to step up, to help fill this void!

The word is, he died of a heart attack…

That’s what you get when you allow your music to be used in a KFC commercial.

I became an instant fan when I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd the first time in 1974. I have enjoyed your music through the years and I have introduced your music to alot of people of different ages. Lynyrd Skynyrd is my all time favorite band, number one on my list every time. I have met you and talked to you and it hurts to hear of the passing of Billy. He was awesome playing the piano. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and bandmates. Play on in heaven Billy.

Billy, you will be missed but also sadly make us all mortal. I grew up on your music and will be listening when I go out of this world to be my own “Freebird”.See you on the other side.Fly on fly on

Billy Powell

GOD BLESS YOU
You brother will be missed

Firt of all, I find the comment by Anonymous | 1/28/2009, 9:15 pm EST, offensive. Lastly, May Eternal Light Shine Upon Billy Powell.

Billy you’re one of the main reasons why I started playing piano, rest in peace. God Bless.

he was the man…

You’re in a much better place now Billy. Thanks for the memories

Deepest Sympathy to the Powells and all the Skynyrd “Family”. . .Fly Free, my Brother. . . .

So weird, I brought his story about Cassie Gaines dying in his arms up out of the blue with a friend yesterday… Maybe his spirit sent a pulse of his vibe out on its way onward.

All the best to his family – He lived a couple lifetimes in one, short life.

Another sad day in Rock & Roll history. Billy my friend, you will be missed dearly.

Please not, Gary Rossington would not be the ONLY remaining original LS member. Rickey Medlocke is also a founding member. Rickey was the bands first drummer.

Billy, everybody will miss you. You were an inspiration to all of us. Thank you!

I met Billy Powell in the local Best Buy not so long ago…he was a great guy with so much talent and a real appreciation for his fans! He’s now in heaven’s rock & roll band and his great contribution to
Lynyrd Skynyrd lives on forever!

What a shock to hear of Billy`s passing today. Growing up with such great music and then a loss such as this…makes one really reflect on things. You were a remarkable musician Billy and will be missed dearly. But never forgotten!! Rest in peace my friend and tell the guys on that stage up above that LS music is just as popular today as it was back in the day. Farewell!!!!!!!

I first saw Lynyrd Skynyrd when they did the tribute tour. I was not one of the lucky ones to get to see the entire original group. Watching Billy play the piano, you could tell that it was not a job to him, but rather he was doing something he loved to do and you could tell he was having fun with it. Recalling him playing the piano, live on on DVD, always made me smile to hear such beautiful playing. A definite musical artist has now left us. If there is a rock n roll heaven…they have a helluva band. RIP Billy Powell, your with God now, as well as most all other members of the band. Rock heaven, like you did earth!!

R.I.P. Billy Powell!!

bob burns and gary rossington and larry junstrom of 38 special are the true surviving original members rickey medlock was fill in drummer and singer during the first and last album rickey plays guitar with them today and every now and then back in the day after crash and band called blackfoot billy wasnt an original member either but may as well have because he was with them on first major label pronounced album Rest In Peace Billy u will b missed

Words can’t express how tragic this is for me. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s music is so special. My first time witnessing the spectacle that was a live Skynyrd show was in ‘74 at the tender age of 14 and I was hooked from then on. Saw them 5 times with Ronnie & met him, Billy & Gary at one of those shows… in Atlanta. Such cool, approachable & down to earth people. No egos at all. Saw them 8 times with Johnny and Rossington Collins Band once in between so that’s a total of 14 times I saw this amazing man play the keys. So talented. So unique. There have been many players brought in to this band in place of those that have passed or left but I don’t see how they can continue now & it makes me so sad. Billy’s style, presence & grace literally just can’t be replaced. He was that good. As much as I’d love to see & hear more Skynyrd music & shows (if there is I’ll be there) I think this looks like the end of the long flight of a very proud & “free bird”. Truely a terrible loss to the music world but more importantly my heart goes out to his family, bandmates, friends & everyone else that knew & loved the man personally.
RIP Billy. You were one of a kind. Also RIP to Hughie, Leon, Allen, Cassie, Steve, Ronnie and as much as it pains me to say this….. probably RIP to Lynyrd Skynyrd as well.
The greatest american Rock & Roll band !! EVER !!

didnt Mick Jagger and the Stones sing “What a drag it is getting old”

I love their song Sweet Home Alabama. R.I.P.
-Amanda

I was a student at Ga. Southern College in 1977 when Skynyrd played there one week before the crash. I was also one of the students asked to drive the band for 4 days. I got to meet all of the band and even took Billy to the local drug store. I truely have a storey to tell my grandchildren. Every time a band member has passed it feels as if I lost a brother. Rest in peace Billy.

God has another great to add to his band in the sky. God’s speed. You won’t be forgotten from all the great music you help bring to my generation. Rest in Peace

LS has helped me get through lifes tough times. God Bless Billy

When I read of BP’s passing just minutes ago, I let out a loud “Oohhhh Nooooo…..!!!” He was such an AWESOME player, as evidenced by his solo on “Call Me the Breeze”. I am offended (like another poster here) by Anonymous 9:15 for makin that KFC comment. Dare ya to say that in front of Skynyrd fans, you spineless piece of butt residue! You TRULY deserve a good ol’ fashion Southern ass-whoopin’! And may you receive it before February ‘09!!!!

Billy was so good at keyboards God called him home.

Billy, we’ll all see you there.

I’m a 66 yrs.YOUNG Fan!
You were truely one of the greatest keyboard players ever!
When Sweet Home Alabama came out,
I would cry from being homesick for Alabama, and living so far away at the time! I bought about 2 dozen tapes and sent them proudly to my yankee friends!
Fly Free now Billy and Rest in Peace, with the rest of the greats who were waiting for your arrival!

Free Bird was what hooked me to LS during school days. And I’ve been a fan ever since. RIP Billy. Will always remain in our heart and soul.

Billy you were an inspiration to me for years and your music always brings me up when I’m down

“Billy Powell on the piano.”

Thanks Billy

I want to know how RS came up with 190 songs better than Free Bird. (Which was THE most requested rock song for decades.)

#37. No Woman, No Cry, Bob Marley and the Wailers……………. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

That sucks… Too young.
But it’s all relative, isn’t it?
MM

Saw you many times, Billy…. you brought a different approach to all southern rock bands – you were one that made Skynyrd stand out, Amigo – peace, brother & say hi to the others for us!

I was so sadden to read about Billy Powell’s passing…very sad indeed! He was a terrific keyboard player and added great sound to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I saw the band once and only once in 1975 in upstate NY, on a bill with the Doobie Brothers…will never forget that confederate flag hanging behind them. I was in college in the early ’70’s in central Florida when I first heard Skynyrd’s “Second Helping”…was hooked ever since. May Billy rest in Peace amoung his fellow bandmates.

I just saw you for the very first time at Mohegan Sun (CT) on January 3rd. You had golden fingers and it was a pleasure to witness what a genuinely good time it looked like you were having, when seated at that piano. Rest in Peace, Brother!!!

After I heard this terrible news yesterday morning, I just wanted to watch my recording of Skynyrd at CMT’s Summerfest, I think it is called from 2006. I was watching the show and then imagining all of those songs without the keyboards. Billy made such a huge contribution to the band as there is no better out there. Gary Rossington and Billy’s bandmates in Skynyrd, and Billy’s family- my heart cries for you today. God Bless Billy Powell.

Fly home free bird. Rock on!

We’ve lost some truly important musicians in the last 12 months.

But this was not one of them.

Some of you who rednecks who glory this guy, and his white trash band, have absolutely horrible taste.

I was saddned but not surprised. The rock and roll life will get you. Way too soon.

I can still hear Ronnie from the live recording, “Billy Powell, on the piano…!”

RIP brother.

My husband introduced me to LynyrdSkynyrd. BILLY was my favorite. Those talented fingers.
Nothing like him, he cannot be replaced.
Our sincere condolences to his family, especially his wife and children. To the rest of the band….A sad day, I was stopped in my tracks. A moment of silence for a GREAT Musician.
YOU YO-YO’s making ignorant remarks on this blog…we CAN find you. It’s called technology…

Shut the “F” up…have some respect. If you don’t like someone this is NOT the time and place..you have no class.
Billy had plenty and his talent IS legendary. Get your facts correct..PUTZ!!!

Hang in there Maggz.

I always thought the day of the Skynrd crash was the “day the music died”.Now with the passing of Billy it truely is that “day”Greatest Band and keyboard player ever hands down!!!!!!!Lynyrd Skynyrd is jamming to Freebird in Heaven today.Lynyrd Skynyrd will live forever and so will you Billy!Sad,sad day!They will enjoy your talent soooo much in that great southern rock band in the sky!You will play it pretty forever!!!!!

I do not care what anyone has to say about Skynyrd………you are the BEST…. i grew up listening to you i am now 43 and will listen to you FOREVER………sorry for your great loss.

Anonymous you are a complete waste of oxygen. First of all, go back to school and learn Grammar 101 before you try to make a post to insult someone, and secondly you couldn’t be anymore incorrect. Freebird is the 2nd most played song in radio history. Billy Powell not only created a piece of work known by tens of millions, he created one of the most recognized piano pieces in music history. What have you done with your life?
Billy Powell was a class act a wonderful pianist.
PS
I’m from the North and I’m only 25.

someone on amazon simply started a conversation with just the name billy powell.
before i opened up the discussion i told myself “oh no, please”.
it turned out billy had died and i was heartbroken.
what a loss and what tragedy this band has gone thru.
i got into skynurd in my teens and they have never left my rock n’ roll heart.
skynyrd was a great band and the premier southern band.
this is a band to respect and their great rock n’ roll creations will live on forever.
billy, we’ll miss you and we love you skynyrd.
when i say skynyrd i mean the ronnie van zant skynyrd that wrote those immortal songs.
hope you join your great band mates and rock n’ roll for eternity.

My sympathy to the family, friends and bandmates of Billy Powell. Fly on Freebird.

This is to Craig.

Bob Marley > Lynyrd Skynyrd

RIP Billy Powell

Damn Billy wish you had gone to your cardiologist on Tuesday. I went to mine on Monday & am OK. You will be missed my friend. I will always remember the old days y’all playing the parks here in Jax, the dates in Gainesville and Atlanta. In the end, “Life goes on within you & without you.” By the way, CAP’N (2:08), Ed King was not an original member. MCA put him on board.

I little bit of me died along with Billy. Sitting here thinking of the 70’s my youth and the fun we had. God bless you Billy

I am honored to have been one of the last fans to have seen Billy’s last performance on the Lido Deck during the Simple Man Cruise a few weeks ago. My last memory of Billy is seeing him and the band waveing to the croud waking up the stairs from the deck. R.I.P. Billy.

RIP from France Billy.

Not only was Billy a fantastic keyboardist, he was a very gracious, humble man. I had the privilage of knowing him and seeing his journey throughout the years.
Never rude always attentive to the fans, ya’ll have no idea.
Thanks Billy for the sweet tunes,and thanks for the memories. see ya at the Kings throne brother.

I WILL MISS YOU BILLY PLAY FOR THE HEAVENS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR KIN. FLY ON YOU ARE FREE AS A BIRD.

The best (hands down) boogie-woogie piano player ever! Without his playing, the 3 guitar lineup would not have been the same. Truly, a great musician has passed.

My introduction to LS was in the 70’s when someone had discarded a cassette tape that was halfway eaten by a tape deck. My brother/friend Willie spliced it back together and we were all hooked… forever.
God bless his family and friends… you are truly missed.

Billy, was part of the defintive 70’s southern rock band – white trash(poor)and ass kickers.They sent most of his generation to Vietnam and us younger brothers where left at home… his music defined us and made us proud- join your other band mates in heaven – RIP – thanks for the music….

Its sad to see old men try to be teenagers.

Billy,we that truly knew you are left with a huge hole in our hearts.I remember how hard you took it with Leon’s passing cuz you were indeed “his bestist buddy”and there is no doubt Leon was the first one to greet you at the pearly gates.I can just hear him now.you two were very special friends and now together again ready to make awesome music.say hello to my brother for me and we see you again…….love ya brother

Thank you for the great music Billy Powell and God Bless you and your family!!! Rest in Peace!!

Midnight Rider rules!

To Billy’s family I’d like to offer My sincerest condolences for what must be a truely heart wrenching loss. At the same time, I wish to thank you as well, for the absolute gift you shared with all of us. As my brother Randy said earlier, Lynyrd Skynyrd hooked us up pretty good at a fairly young age, and we all have stayed pretty true to the southern rock ethic ever since. We were just kids, but I can’t imagine any other keyboardist in history inspiring so much “air piano” from so many “too cool” kids in such a red neck, rural, small town setting as we grew up in. So inspirational it was, I attempted to take up piano a few years later, with visions of Billy-esque greatness dancing across my imagination. To this day, my old Skynyrd albums (and disks) still inspire a love for the keyboard in a way none of the other greats ever has. Forget rest and peace Billy…Rock em hard! If your new gig has a little different way of doing things, no doubt you’ll still find a way to change it up a notch!

U are missed already!

Hope u’ll be tickling the ivories in the next phase.

A true talent has passed. He was the unsung hero of LS.

Janne and Hammer is going to miss our old buddy Billy – thanks for great music through the years – Fly on Freebird – //t.c.b Skynyrd Frynds Sweden

Southern Fried is the king of all rock,and Lynyrd Skynyrd was the king of Southern Fried. Billy was a corner stone in the band which rocked so many of us as young Americans.
You will truely be missed, and I along with millions of Americans would like to say thanks for the ride, and may God be with you on your next great journey………

As Charlie Daniels once said”Fly on proud bird, you’re free at last”

billy has not left us.he’s just moved on to a bigger gig.in the imortal words or ronnie van zant “if i leave here tomorrow will you still remember me” i have to answer YES!!!!!YES!!!!YES!!!!!. it is a very sad day for music. REST IN PEACE BILLY!!!!!.

billy rest in peace,my thoughts
and prayers to the family,you will be missed.

long time fan

Man, this really is a bummer.. But we all gotta go eventually. Just wish all those things (plane crash, Allen Collin’s death, etc) never happened! Seems like good talent dies, while crappy “talent” lives on. Anyway, wish Billy had more time to rock! R.I.P. dude!

Guess what?

Everybody dies!

I will.

You will too.

People die every second, of every day.

Get over it.

I’m truly amazed at how crass people can be (Anonymous, for example). Some folks blog things that they would never have the balls to say to someone in person. For God’s sake, show some class.

Ah yes, the Rolling Stone blog… where only the classy converge!

In honor of this true talent who left us way too soon…i’m take my pickup truck to the nearest KFC drive thru, and wolf down a bucket of greasy fried chicken.

I think Billy Powell would have wanted it that way.

to Anonymous:

how dare you say such things about the greatest pianist to evr live. and get off the page if you dont like it.

Really, Addison?

“the greatest pianist to ever live.”

You’re actually saying there’s never been a better pianist in the entire history of the world? Wow!

If it wasn’t for that 1977 plane crash, which unfairly created a whole ‘mystique’ about Lynyrd Sknyrd, they would be long forgotten by now. It wouldn’t even register a blip on the Rolling Stone blog.

billy billy bo billy banana fana fo filly fee fi fo filly… Billy!

to anonymous skynyrd blew the stones off the stage .RIP BILLY WE LOVE YA YAUL KNOW WHO WE ARE

I dont give a crap what you or the rolling stone saysever. and hes a human being. it doesnt matter if he was the worst in the world, you need to show him respect. your no better than spit on a sidewalk. you are a discrace to America and to gods green earth. may he have mercy on your soul.

I’m sure you’re right, Benny.

BILLY WAS THE BEST!!!SAD TO SEE HIM GO.I FEEL ALMOST AS BAD AS WHEN HUGHIE THOMASSON PASSED ON TO SOON.FLY ON FREE BIRDS ..GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES FOREVER

if it wasn’t for my son giving me a dvd freebird the movie I would of never gotten to know the original LS and would of lost out on one of the greatest groups ever Ronnie, Stevie, Cassie , and there manager died way to early in the plane crash and Alan and Leon dies way to early also now Billy has went to the rock and roll heaven to be with his band mates you will be missed Billy but never forgotten and yes the whole rock and roll world will remember you RIP Freebird your in Sweet Home Heaven with the angels

truly a great loss.rest in peace.

Not good news. Thinking of you Billy and am going to miss you. Been to plenty of shows thru the 70’s. Hey Willy from AZ, My daughter(10)always plays air piano along with Billy. Hey anonumbnuts, you’re the one who always got your head stomped on. Stay anonymous. Stormin Norm from Boston

You certainly don’t have to like Skynyrd’s music. After all they were just a bunch of poor white trash. Far to unsophisticated for the rock snobs who roll thier eyes when “Freebird” comes on the local classic rock station.

Just consider this, Eddie Van
Halen is a guitar legend and considered such an amazing talent (rightfully so, I might add). Yet you can walk into any music store in America and find some seventeen year old wannabee who can play his guitar riffs note for note. Now ask yourself, how many keyboardist anywhere on any level you’ve seen pound out a Billy Powell solo note for note. Brothers and sisters, there just ain’t many on this earth who can do it. We just lost arguably the best honky-tonk piano player of all time.
R.I.P. Billy.

I was fortunate to have seen the original band at mile high stadium in Denver back in June of 77 90,000 people were on their feet during Free Bird. Last night i reached for the dvd freebird the movie. I had not watched it for years.Later that evening I heard of Billy’s death.May you be with your bandmates now and be at peace.

In 1976 I was in attendance at one of the best three act shows I’ve ever witnessed.
1st, Skynyrd, 2nd, Peter Frampton, & 3rd, Santana.
During the course of this day, the guitar work was as blistering as the sunburn I received, the concert being held outdoors on a murderously hot & humid day in July on the campus of Eastern Michigan University.
Despite Ronnie VanZant’s disparaging remarks concerning the quality of the P.A. system, Skynyrd proved that three guitars were not too much for the crowd to handle.
They, of course, closed with “Free Bird”, performing same with amazing intensity and passion.
Now, Bill, Ron, Allen, Leon, Steve, and Cassie have been reunited for all eternity.
We thank the Creator for the gift of those people and the musical gifts they gave to us all.
All the fans send out their collective hearts to the giant extended family that is Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!!!!
Yours Truly, mrmusic248

Whenever I heard Ronnie Van Zant say ” Billy Powell on piano” I loved it, cause I knew it would kick ass!

may the spirit of billy p and skynyr live on in our hearts enternally forever ever . forever thankful’

may the spirit of billy p and skynyr live on in our hearts enternally forever ever . forever thankful’

What can you say….a great keyboard player who made a great band great. God proves to us once again he only takes the best.

Thanks for the music.

All of my heros are dying. Goodbye Billy and thanks for the memories.

Esta banda es re piedra, mal \m/

RIP, He was the BEST!!!!

Skynyrd is the soundtrack of my youth. Saw them in 1976 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Best concert I’ve ever seen. Very sad day with Billy passing.

To Sir Billy Powells Family !!

My Heart Goes Out To You

On This Very Sad Day!!! To

That He Will Live For

Eternity !! In His

Music!! Bless You All!!

You Brought Us All Joy

With Your Music That

Will Be Heard For All

Eternity!!!!

Billy now has heard the words that every Christian man or woman wants to hear more than anything, “Well done, my true and faithful servant”!! those down here below rejoice on your arrival in to your reward with Jesus!! amen…

Thank you Billy for all good tunes……fly high…

This is indeed sad news — what a talent. Probably the only concert where the piano solo was considered enough of a highlight that the beer drinkers didn’t automatically head off to the concession stands. And that’s a compliment.

Anyway, I know the Skynyrd entertainment machine makes way too much money on the road for Rossington to consider putting it to rest, but now that he’s the last original member, it’s pretty much a traveling tribute band. So why give the Kiss guys flak for saying they might pass the makeup torch to a younger quartet?

Orchard Park Stadium/Buffalo, NY summer of ‘77. We still remember you.
As for the rude comments being made, ignore the ignorance. They are obviously rapp fans that have no idea what real music and real musicians are, yet rapp performers keep stealing the music from greats like Skynyrd. RIP Billy and say hello to the rest of the band from the fans. Fly on freebird!

LS fans ignore the dis- respect stated by the idiots out there …they would not say those things to their face – Ronnie would give them a good ass – kicking. Hank W. would say ” we say grace and we say mam and if you not into that we don’t give a damn”. Charlie D would say” just leave this long hair country boy alone”. Billy was part of the true southern band that spoke our langauge – if they don’t like it spit some beechnut in their eye… again Billy thanks for representing us so well with great music and you had fun while doing it – a life well lived. You are in much better place …

Forgot to mention , I saw LS, ZZ TOP and the Rolling Stones in Memphis in 1976 – both LS and ZZ out rocked the head lining Stones… – the British bands stole all their style/soul from the southern blacks and whites artist- which they admit.. Billy you are truly Free now…say hello to D. Allman

What a sad, sad thing to happen to a band that is no stranger to tragedy. Billy Powell dead at only 56, another Freebird gone much too soon. My heart and prayers are with Skynyrd and Billy’s family. His was a great talent and thankfully will be left to the world to remember him by. I can only imagine the reunion when he joined Ronnie, Steve, Dean, Cassie, Allen, and Leon. It must have been a very happy thing for them all to reunite in Heaven. Thank God for the gift of each of their lives and the music they left behind. R.I.P. Billy, another Freeebird who’s free at last. God Bless his soul and the many loved ones left behind.

Sorry to hear this news. Billy was once of the greats…….

I only got to see this band once, when they rolled by here in 2006. Billy Powell’s playing was a thrilling highlight of that show. What an incredible talent he had! I remember how he and bassist Ean Eads would simultaneously lean back and then tear into some more devastatingly awesome riffs during the solo parts of songs they did. Most of all, I remember that big radiant smile B.P. kept on his face the whole show, just shining out joy at getting another night to play in front of his nearest loyal fans. I’m glad he enjoyed his life. I’m sorry he’s gone. This hurts. My deepest respects to all his family and friends.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of my favorite bands, and Billy Powell was my favorite keyboard player. He inspired me to get started at keyboards while I was in my forties. I stopped for awhile, but I’m now removitated to start again.

Billy, thank you so much for the joy you’ve given me through your music.

Billy Powell is trim in that old black and white photo. Makes me think of Ron Asheton.

I saw Skynyrd w/ J Geils and Dickie Betts–Betts didn’t seem too happy that day–and Peter Frampton, who, unbeknowst to everyone, was already on his way down. Me, I enjoyed Frampton that early June Saturday in early 1977. I’ll bet Powell and the boys did too as Frampton did some covers, Junior Walker’s Shotgun, Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Skynard, if they were waiting backstage at the time, probably enjoyed J Geils. I was one of the freaks at the concert, imagining Iggy Pop on that stage. My feet in the slime, my delicate eardrums getting blown by the–the awful plane crash, three months away–original Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Billy was part of the team that brought us so much joy through the years . He will never be forgotten . My heart goes out to his family . I think i speak for the rest of Lynyrd Skynyrd fans when i say ” If you can’t leave a respectful comment about this legend of a man , then don’t leave a comment at all.” We’re one step behind you Billy and we have your back . Love and miss you Brother.

What a horrific passing of a legend. Billy you will be missed but still loved.

There have been many great musicians, but only a few touch our souls. Billy, You worked hard to give us your best. Now its time to enjoy the peace of the afterlife. You’re in good company. Rock on in Heaven, Brother!

If any of you are interested in the real history of Skynyrd.try this site.www.mikeyshellhouse. com
L S history is a complicated and interesting story learn about if from those who were there and know the real deal

I hope Kid Rock pays respect to Billy at the Grammy awards.. Chances are he’ll be performing “All Summer Long”… It would be the right thing to do..

RIP billy.

My friend left me alone. Can someone answer me, what should i do. ����� �����

All of Billy’s work was incredible and I’m pleased to see hundreds of references to “Free Bird”; however, if you want to hear Billy at his absolute pinnacle crank up “Call Me The Breeze”, especially while cruisin’ down the highway on a summer day with the top down! Billy was my favorite member of my favorite band. We’ll all miss BP, and I look forward to seeing who’s tickling the ivories in his stead when I next see Skynyrd (for the 8th time)! I don’t believe in Heaven or Hell, but as a devout Christian Billy certainly did. If I’m wrong and there is a Heaven, I’m pretty sure that Billy’s playing a solo for God at this very moment.

best keyboard player ever rest in peace I will miss you

rest in peace billy you are the man

Enjojed seeing Billy Powell perform with the band in Boone NC recently. Great performance and a great band. The songs this band played tell a story about their lives and experiences, and what great storytellers and musicians they were! I am looking at my framed lp cover of Street Survivors as I write this. I will miss my friends but continue to enjoy and share their music .

Rock On Billy tell the boys fishings been great

When my son, Levi Krystosek, was 18 months-old, Billy Powell and the whole Lynyrd Skynyrd Band met him and signed a guitar for him. It was to help raise awareness, Levi has a rare form of debilitating dwarfism. The kind, generous act that Billy and the rest of the band showed Levi, gave me hope. It was only a few short months later that we found a doctor to help Levi. I was told by several doctors that Levi may not walk but because of that meeting with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Levi has been walking for 2 months with the help of a walker. Billy you helped us and I will forever be grateful. May God grant you peace. Know that I will think of you often and I will pray for your family and friends during this difficult time. Peace be with them too.

The Terminator franchise is what got me interested in the movies in the first place.
The first was a suspenseful cyberpunk thriller, and the second became my favorite movie of all time.
The third fell short of intelligence but still solid nonetheless, and the TV series was a good addition to the franchise.
Nearing the end of May, the fourth and latest film addition of the beloved sci-fi franchise will open, and viewers are in for a sheer summer spectacle.

the best piano player since Jerry Lee Lewis.Maybe even better. What a talent,what an entertainer,showman,pro.,consi stantly amazing.He was one of the best in the world.I have seen him 4 times live and play Skynyrd everyday and learned to play by wearing out Skynyrd records.But, GOD REST HIS SOUL AND I PRAY GOD WILL GIVE HIS LOVED ONES THE SUPPORT AND LOVE AND STRENGTH TO MAKE THROUGH IT ALL. BLESS ALL OF YOU.AMEN

I want to buy a new iPhone. But all files I have are not in Iphone supported formats. So I think software TuneCab will help me to convert them to iPhone. Did anybody try it?
