Gary Moore, a former guitarist for Thin Lizzy, died this morning in a Spain hotel room. He was 58 years old. Moore was originally a member of the band Skid Row with Phil Lynott; Lynott later asked him to join Thin Lizzy as the band's new guitarist. After leaving Thin Lizzy, Moore went on to have a successful solo career. "I still can't believe it," another former Thin Lizzy member tells the BBC. "He was so robust, he wasn't a rock casualty, he was a healthy guy." Read the full article. (More Thin Lizzy stories.)
