Billy Gibbons, Chuck Leavell, Paul Rodgers, Slash and Warren Haynes were among those who paid tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday's CMT Music Awards on CBS. Also on the stage were country stars Cody Johnson, LeAnn Rimes and Wynonna Judd as they performed "Simple Man" and "Sweet Home Alabama."
The performance was introduced by Peter Frampton, who paid tribute to Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd's last surviving original member, who died on March 5 at the age of 71. "Gary not only helped define the band's sound, he inspired millions of fans and musicians," Frampton noted in part. "He's now joined his fellow Skynyrd bandmates in rock and roll heaven, but we will all enjoy their music forever."
The Skynyrd tribute wasn't the only rock themed performance of the CMT Music Awards. Earlier in the night, Judd teamed with Ashley McBride for a soaring cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and the Black Crowes took the stage with Darius Rucker to perform "She Talks to Angels."
