Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band, not a person. They named their band Lynyrd Skynyrd after their high school gym teacher, Leonard Skinner. Nobody in the band is actually named Lynyrd Skynyrd.

At the time, the band had 10 on-stage members: Ronnie Van Zant, Cassie Gaines, Steve Gaines, Artimus Pyle, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson, Allen Collins, Leslie Hawkins, Gary Rossington, and Jo Jo Billingsley.

Jo Jo Billingsley was not on the plane. Ronnie Van Zant, Cassie Gaines, and Steve Gaines died, along with their road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and the pilot and co-pilot.

Artimus Pyle, Allen Collins, Leslie Hawkins, Billy Powell, Gary Rossington, and Leon Wilkeson survived, but with very serious injuries.

What instrument did Lynyrd Skynyrd play?

Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. Gary Rossington usually used either a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson SG. Allen Collins used a Gibson Explorer and Ed King (when he was still playing with skynyrd) used a Fender strat. 'Freebird' clearly shows the use of a Gibson Firebird in the second break. This is not the same as an Explorer which has regular humbuckers; the Firebird has slender single-coil Alnico-type pickups with a distinctive sound. Also, 'Sweet Home Alabama' clearly indicates the use of a Telecaster or else an old-style (50's) Strat on the bridge pickup. I believe the Les Paul/Explorer/Strat combo to be typial of live shows rather than what the songs were recorded with.
