Donnie Van Zant

Donnie Van Zant (born June 11, 1952 in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American rock guitarist and vocalist. He is the younger brother of the late Lynyrd Skynyrd founder and singer Ronnie Van Zant and the older brother of Southern rock and current Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant.

Van Zant formed .38 Special in 1975, and is one of the lead singers. The band, which started out as a southern rock band and transitioned to a more straight rock sound, had several hit singles between 1981 and 1991.

In 2005, Donnie had issues with blood clots, and as a result, he had to take medication.

As of 2006, Van Zant performs with .38 Special and with his younger brother Johnny as Van Zant.
