6. Lynyrd Skynrd

One of the most famous cases of musicians we lost to plane crashes involved three members of southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynrd. The Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird band were at the height of their success when on October 20, 1977 their chartered flight to Baton Rouge had engine trouble and attempted an emergency landing. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines didn’t make it. The band regrouped with various other players throughout the years. Some say Lynyrd Skynrd seems cursed, as several other members have met untimely deaths.
