Dead Rock Stars 6: Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)

Revered rock writers Mick Wall and Joel McIver scrutinise the Bad Reputation of Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott, singer and songwriter, rocker and romantic, bard and brawler. An illegitimate child of mixed race, Phil escaped his tough Dublin childhood to front the powerhouse hard rockers Thin Lizzy. And yet despite a clutch of killer albums, a formidable twin guitar attack and Lynott's charisma, this was a band who never quite conquered the planet. Through drink, drugs and disaster they were a band who never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
