Acclaimed Rock Guitarist Gary Moore Found Dead in Spain
Sunday, 6 February 2011

Critically acclaimed rock guitarist Gary Moore, a former member of the Irish band Thin Lizzy, has been founded dead in his hotel room in southern Spain.

He was 58 years old and no cause of death is immediately known.

Moore's former bandmates say they are in shock, calling him a robust and healthy guy.

The Belfast-born Moore started out playing guitar with the Irish band Skid Row before joining Thin Lizzy in the early 1970s.

Some of the band's popular hits include “The Boys Are Back in Town” and “Whiskey in the Jar.”

Moore also collaborated with other rock legends, including George Harrison, and enjoyed a successful solo career, winning praise from critics and fellow musicians.
