Lynyrd Skynyrd fans were left shocked and saddened when the band announced the cancellation of some upcoming shows due to a "family emergency." Frontman Johnny Van Zant took to Facebook to share the heartbreaking news with their loyal followers. It turns out that Johnny's daughter Taylor had been diagnosed with a brain mass. As you can imagine, this news hit the band and their loved ones hard, especially after losing founding member Gary Rossington just last year.
In his video, Johnny expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from fans. He also shared that he had initially withheld his daughter's name as she values her privacy. However, he eventually revealed that it was his youngest daughter Taylor who was facing this health scare. Johnny went on to explain that Taylor had suddenly experienced numbness on the right side of her body, which prompted them to rush her to the emergency room. The results of a CAT scan showed a mass on her brain, which was also causing bleeding and the numbness.
Thankfully, after being evaluated by a "great neurology team," the doctors determined that the mass was not cancerous. This was a huge relief for Johnny and his family, but they are still awaiting further tests and results. While they are not completely out of the woods yet, they are in a much better position than they initially thought. It's a tough time for the band, but they remain hopeful and are taking things one day at a time.
Unfortunately, the bad news didn't end there. Johnny also shared that their longtime tour bus driver, Brad Gibson, was involved in a freak accident. He had been with the band for the past couple of months and was a beloved member of their team. Johnny asked for prayers for Brad, who was in the ICU due to a head injury from the accident. He also mentioned that Brad has a young daughter and a loving family, and they are all rooting for his recovery.
Through it all, Johnny's faith remains strong and he refuses to let the devil bring him and his loved ones down. He assured fans that they will continue to fight and stay strong, with the help of Jesus Christ. It's a difficult time, but they are determined to stay positive and hopeful.
In the midst of all this, Lynyrd Skynyrd fans have shown their support and love for the band and their families. The Agency entertainment team has received countless messages and well wishes, which they are grateful for. If you have a celebrity story or any information, you can reach out to them through email, phone, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
Let's continue to keep Johnny, his family, and Brad in our thoughts and prayers during this tough time. Together, we can send positive energy and love their way.
