Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 19, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Allen Collins! When it comes to wielding a guitar solo like nobody's business, you've surely set the stage ablaze. From crafting unforgettable solos in "Free Bird" that left audiences speechless—and fingers cramped from air-guitaring—to rocking stadiums worldwide alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd, your legacy stands unmatched.

Even as years roll by (or should we say “Skynyrd” by?), your influence remains timeless and vibrant within rock history. Today we're celebrating the extraordinary talent behind countless iconic riffs—a musician whose music makes every listener think they're masters of invisible guitars. Keep on soaring high—free bird forever!
