Original Skynyrd member pianist Damn He was awesome.
January 28th 2009, Billy Powell died at his Orange Park home.
Powell, who has a history of heart problems, called 911 emergency at about 12:55 am because he was having trouble breathing. When paramedics arrived they found him in his bedroom unresponsive with the telephone still in his hand. Paramedics tried to perform CPR but were unsuccessful in reviving the 56-year-old.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, but a heart attack is suspected.
He has SOOO much talent. They can't replace the feeling he gave in those piano solos. Just like when the bassist died, the new replacement has no feeling to his performances.
