DragonKing Dark: The Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 plane crash

DragonKing Dark: The Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 plane crash

On this week’s DragonKing Dark, I continue our look at 100 of the darkest moments in pop culture history.

In 1977 and at the height of their popularity, a plane carrying legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd was struck down in Louisiana. Overshadowed in history by the death of Elvis two months earlier, the death of nearly the entire band and management made a bigger impact on music than most realize.

And that wasn’t the end of it. Two of the members killed in the crash, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, couldn’t even rest in peace.

We get into that story and more on this week’s DragonKing Dark.
