He was Lynyrd Skynyrd's original drummer. He can be heard on their first two albums (Pronounced LS and Second Helping). The news was released on the Artimus Pyle Band Facebook page:
Fans we are absolutely devastated this morning after learning that our dear friend, band mate and original Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer, Bob Burns has passed away. Bob was one of the kindest, sweetest men you would ever want to know and a rock solid drummer. Artimus calls him the Ringo Star of southern rock. We were honored to have shared the stage with Bob and were looking forward to many more shows down the road. Bob we love you and will surely miss you! Prayers for his daughters Lou and Kristen. RIP old friend.
Another death in the Skynyrd family. Of the nine musicians who played in the pre-crash band, only three are left: Gary Rossington, Artimus Pyle and Ed King.
RIP Bob. He struggled with a bi-polar condition most of his life. The loss of his wife a few months ago hit him hard.
