Bad Company were dubbed a super-group upon the band’s formation due to the union of Free’s Paul Rodgers (Vocals / Multi-Instrumentalist) with Mott The Hoople’s Mick Ralphs (Guitar) plus Free’s Simon Kirke (Drums) and King Crimson’s Boz Burrell (Bass), who passed away in 2006.  Over the next nine years, the band released a string of six albums that sold tens of millions of copies, yielding international hits “Can’t Get Enough,” “Bad Company,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” and many others penned by the main songwriters Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs.  Original members Rodgers, Ralphs, and Kirke will be joined by guitarist Howard Leese and bassist Todd Ronning (from Paul Rodgers solo band).

Led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals) and Rickey Medlocke (guitar), along with longtime drummer Michael Cartellone,Lynyrd Skynyrd have built and maintained their tremendous legacy, which began over 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida. With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having over two million downloaded ringtones; Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeals to all generations.
