LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant describes guitarist Gary Rossington’s heart attack as “slight” and says Rossington is itching to get back to touring. Van Zant tells Billboard magazine Rossington suffered the attack two weeks ago while in a hospital for another procedure and his doctors took him off his blood-thinning medication. Van Zant says he recently told Rossington they should just cancel the rest of their shows for the year. Rossington told him he’s been thinking about what’s important to him and it’s family and playing the guitar, so he wants to play shows. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s next scheduled date is the Alabama National Fair in Montgomery on November 7.
