Ronan McGreevy of IrishTimes.com reports:
An exhibition to honour the life of Phil Lynott, who died 25 years ago tomorrow, is to be held in March.
The THIN LIZZY songwriter and bass guitarist died on January 4th, 1986, 11 days after collapsing at his home in Surrey following a drink and drugs overdose. He was 35.
The exhibition, which runs at the St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre (in Dublin, Ireland) throughout March, will feature guitars, flight cases and other equipment used by Lynott, lyric books, school reports and Lynott’s shares in Manchester United Football Club – as well as personal letters, cards and other items collected by his mother Philomena and other friends over the years.
It includes a picture of Lynott with Bob Geldof at the old Irish Times building on D’Olier Street and material from the Hot Press archives.
