Hog Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Not sure Bigsby. Apparently he lived a healthy enough lifestyle. It has already been pointed out that he was not a casualty of the "rock n roll lifestyle".So probably not trying to choke himself with his boxers round his ankles and coke hidden in the crevice of his facial scar.

ChrisB Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've heard that it was a heart attack but that hasn't been confirmed by any other source yet.Can't believe this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sadly it seems he had some financial problems in recent years which forced him to sell the famous Greeny Les Paul. I guess you would have got short odds on Green outliving him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 He was glassed in a fight in a London Club in the 70's Frankie Millar saved him, so the legend go'sSure that wasn't the Scottish guitarist out of Lizzy (whose name escapes me right now)?Certainly he told that story in the excellent BBC 4 documentary the other week.And then Moore was brought in to cover for him on their US tour.Just remembered, it was Robbo. Robbo was saving Frankie Miller from being glassed.Anyhoo, here's what The Sun says, take it with a pinch of salt if you will:Thin Lizzy star Gary Moore found dead in hotel room | The Sun |Showbiz|Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Blues Alive is a favourite album of mine and the videos of him tearing it up with Thin Lizzy have been getting plenty of rotation on my laptop over the past year or so.
