When they originally reunited with Johnny Van Zant on vocals they called themselves Tribute To Lynyrd Skynyrd but, that didn't last long. After a legal battle with Ronnie's wife it was agreed that the band must have at least 3 survivors of the plane crash in the band for it to use the Skynyrd name. After Leon Wilkeson died she didn't complain about their being only 2 survivors, probably because she was making a lot of money off Ronnies Royalties.
Gary had some minor success with the Rossington band before reuniting Skynyrd with his wife Dale on vocals (she also sang for Rossington Collins). And Johnny and Donnie Van Zant have done well with their Van Zant albums. So if Skynyrd break up their could still be new music from the extended family
