Former Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore dies

Reuters, Feb 6, 2011 5:32 pm PST Gary Moore, former star of the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, has died in Spain. The Belfast-born guitarist was 58. "It is with deep sorrow and regret that we have to announce that Gary Moore passed away while on holiday in Spain last night," a message on his official website said on Sunday.

 

"Our thoughts are with his children, family and friends at this sad time."

 

According to the Irish Times website, Moore was found dead in his hotel room in Estepona in the early hours of Sunday morning. A postmortem was due to be carried out in the nearby city of Malaga, the newspaper added.

 

A spokeswoman for Britain's Foreign Office in London said: "We are aware (of Moore's death), and we stand ready to provide consular assistance. We are very sorry for his family's loss."

 

Moore was just 16 years old when he moved from Belfast to Dublin in 1969 to join Skid Row, which featured Phil Lynott as lead singer.

 

Moore was later brought into Thin Lizzy, best known for hit songs like "Whiskey in the Jar" and "The Boys Are Back in Town."

 

He replaced the departing Eric Bell, who told the BBC: "I still can't believe it. He was so robust, he wasn't a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy. He was a superb player and a dedicated musician."

 

As well as playing with Thin Lizzy for several periods, Moore worked separately with Lynott, who died in 1986 from drug-related complications.

 

Moore also worked with a number of top artists, including George Harrison.

I used to sing in a band when I was a kid.......I truly appreciate the guitar players that can make their axe sing.........When he starts playing the tears begin to flow from my eyes..........Why God did you take this gift from us? HJ

[coxie0527]

He was underappreciated for sure. A great musician and guitarist, who let his soul come out of his fingers. Plus, he had one of the finest 59 Standards in the history of the world. I just started really getting into him within the last 5 years or so, sad day.
