Celebrity deaths: Lynyrd Skynyrd bassist, Stanley Tucci’s wife
Lynryd Skynyrd bassist Donald “Ean” Evans died of cancer Wednesday at age 48.
A statement posted Thursday on lynyrdskynyrd.com announced Evans’ death “with profound sadness.” It said he had “put up a valiant battle with an aggressive form of cancer.”
Evans was born in Atlanta, but moved to Columbus, Mississippi after marrying his wife, Eva. He joined Lynyrd Skynyrd in 2001 and toured with them until 2008, when he was diagnosed with cancer.

“My wife was an extraordinary person who showed us all what great strength is,” Tucci told the New York Daily News.
