Phil Lynott
Philip Parris Lynott was an Irish musician best known as the co-founder, lead vocalist, bassist, and primary songwriter for the hard rock band Thin Lizzy. He was noted for his distinctive pick-based style on the bass and for his imaginative lyrics, including working-class tales and numerous characters drawn from personal influences and Celtic culture. Born in England to an Irish mother and Guyanese father, Lynott was raised in Ireland by his grandparents. He remained close to his mother throughout his life. He fronted several bands as a lead vocalist, including Skid Row alongside Gary Moore, before learning the bass and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969. The band had several hits in the 1970s such as "Whiskey in the Jar", "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Jailbreak", and "Waiting for an Alibi", and became popular live performers due to Lynott's vocals and songwriting skills combined with his bandmates' dual lead guitars. Over the mid-to-late 1970s, Lynott embarked upon a solo career and published two poetry books. After Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band Grand Slam. During the 1980s, Lynott increasingly suffered from drug addiction, particularly to heroin. From Wikipedia (
