In 2018, Southern Rock icons, Lynyrd Skynyrd, announced that, after a career that has spanned more than 40 years and includes a catalog of more than 60 albums with more than 30 million units sold, they would embark on their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the career-concluding farewell tour logged over 50 stops by the end of 2018. However, like many things since COVID hit last year, their Farewell tour was put on pause and Lynyrd Skynyrd's performance at the Concert for Legends is a continuation of the tour. The legendary rockers are best known for the RIAA Platinum-certified "Sweet Home Alabama" and self-proclaimed signature song, "Free Bird," that Rolling Stone said was "easily the most requested live song in existence. With everlasting hits such as "Simple Man," "Gimme Three Steps," "What's Your Name," "Call Me The Breeze," "You Got That Right," and more, it is easy to see why Rolling Stone named Lynyrd Skynyrd one of its 100 Greatest Bands of All Time. In 2021, original member Gary Rossington will be joined by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark "Sparky" Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase.
His latest single "Nobody But You" with Gwen Stefani recently reached the top of the country radio charts for multiple weeks, marking his 27th career No.1. The track has accumulated upward of 130 million streams and more than one million track equivalents, debuting at No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes Songs chart. "Nobody But You" made its TV debut on the 62nd GRAMMY Awards, where Shelton was also nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for his smash "God's Country. One of the fastest country songs in 2019 to reach one million track equivalents, the 2x Platinum "God's Country" also earned the 2019 CMA Award for Single of the Year and most recently received three 2020 ACM Awards nominations for Single, Song, and Video of the Year. The track remained No. 1 on country radio for a multi-week run and marked his 16th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Both tracks are featured on Fully Loaded: God's Country, which was Shelton's seventh and most recent album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. An advocate for country music past and present, the Platinum-selling entertainer recently wrapped his headlining Friends and Heroes tour (with very special guest Lauren Alaina as well as appearances by The Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson, and Adkins), with remaining dates to resume in March 2021. As a coach for the Emmy Award-winning television show The Voice, Shelton is a seven-time champion, most recently with his contestant Todd Tilghman. The Grand Ole Opry member also remains focused on his Ole Red partnership with Ryman Hospitality, with locations currently in Tishomingo, Nashville, Gatlinburg, and Orlando.
