From www.skynyrd.com

"The crash, which killed Ronnie VanZant, guitarist Steve Gaines, vocalist Cassie Gaines, road manager Dean Kilpatrick and seriously injured the rest of the band and crew, shattered Skynyrd's fast rising star as it cut a 500 foot path through the swamp. Lynyrd Skynyrd had met a sudden, tragic end."

Notice it says, sadly, "tragic end," not "hiatus."

Also, in an attempt to avoid Skynyrd comparisons, Rossington chose (his now wife) Dale Krantz as the R-C Band's vocalist.

Now, you tell me...if they were just on hiatus as Skynyrd, why worry so much about vocal comparisons?

Skynyrd originally ended in the Mississippi swamp. They reformed after the end of Skynyrd with Van Zandt's widow's approval provided that at least 3 original members had to be in the band to keep the Skynyrd name. With Leon Wilkeson's death, the question of the maintenance of the Skynyrd name is in question, since only Rossington and Billy Powell remain from the orignal band.
