GARY MOORE's Grave In "Sorry State"
August 11, 2012, 12 years ago
According to Belfasttelegraph.co.uk, concerns have been expressed about the “sorry state” of GARY MOORE’s grave, just 17 months after his death.
The 58-year-old THIN LIZZY star, turned successful solo artist, died from a heart attack while holidaying in Spain last February.
However, fans living close to his final resting place in Saltdean, East Sussex, have raised concerns about the upkeep of the burial plot.
The only indication of the grave’s famous occupant is a small brown cross stating ‘GARY MOORE 1952–2011’ and a few mementoes left by fans.
In a statement issued to the Belfast Telegraph, a spokesman for Moore’s family blamed adverse weather conditions for the delay in erecting a headstone.
A spokesman said: “A headstone is currently being made, as arranged by Gary’s family. It does take some time for the ground, following a burial, to settle and to be able to support a headstone or memorial piece. But with the continuing wet weather, this has added to the time that the ground is taking to settle.”
