10 Most Successful Rock Music Star Siblings

10. The Van Zants (Ronnie And Johnny)

The original line-up of Lynyrd Skynyrd featured Ronnie Van Zant behind the microphone.

RVZ served as the band's frontman and leader during their hottest period, until fate intervened in 1977. The band were travelling on a small plane when it crashed, killing six people, including Van Zant.

This tragedy led to the end of the band, seemingly forever, until they made a comeback a decade later with a different Van Zant at the helm.

Johnny, younger brother of Ronnie, was now the group's lead singer and chief songwriter. He had previously been involved in different bands, but had now taken his place in the group that his sibling had started just four years after he was born.

Though Skynyrd have never been quite as popular, they still make a lot of noise as a legacy act, with Johnny bringing new life to old songs. It's quite beautiful in a way that he was there to pick up the baton of his fallen brother, ensuring that his musical legacy lives on.

Side note, Ronnie and Johnny have another brother who is also involved in music. His name? Donnie. You couldn't make it up.
