Their last single was the title track of their fourteenth studio album ‘Last of a Dyin' Breed’ in 2012.
Sharing ‘Last of the Street Survivors’, Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote: “As promised, here’s a little gift from our Skynyrd family to yours. We want to thank everyone for making this possible. Stay safe and God bless.”
