Larry Junstrom, founding memeber of Lynyrd Skynyrd and longtime bassist for 38 Special, has died at the age of 70.

38 Special shared the news on Facebook, saying “The Big Man on the Big Bass has left us.”

In 1964, Junstrom formed Skynyrd along with high school friends Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington, but left before the band recorded their first album.

He later joined 38 special in 1977, remaining with the band until a hand injury forced him into retirement in 2014.
