Gary Moore dies at 58

Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore was found dead in a hotel room in Southern Spain, according to London newspaper The Guardian.

The cause of death has not been determined. Moore was 58.

The Belfast-native Moore joined the blues-rock-enthused Thin Lizzy in 1973, replacing Eric Bell on guitar, and enduring an up-and-down relationship with band frontman Phil Lynott for decades to come.

Moore, who released 20 solo studio albums, had returned to his blues roots in recent years and played in 2006 with former bandmates from Thin Lizzy, according to the Guardian.

Said Bell: "He was so robust, he wasn't a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy."

The only problem with the story is Phil died in 1986! how hard to do research?

from Wikipedia,"Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band Grand Slam, right up until his death at the age of 36." I know Wiki isn't always accurate but on general things it's just fine,
