THIN LIZZY Mainman Phil Lynott's Mother Reveals Long-Held Secret
April 20, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Irishtimes.com, the mother of the late THIN LIZZY star Phil Lynott introduced two siblings he had never met to a public gathering for the first time last night.
“When I lost Philip, I died with him and I thought that was the end,” Philomena Lynott said. “Now, to have these two wonderful people loving me."
She stood beaming beside her son and daughter at an event promoting her updated book My Boy. She had not included the story of these two children, adopted in England as toddlers, in her first version of this book published in 1995.
“I don’t walk around ashamed any more that I had two other children,” she said.
Despite having been found by her daughter, Philomena (60), and son, Leslie (58), more than 15 years ago, she had kept their existence a secret until after the death of her mother and Philomena’s adoptive mother. “I didn’t want my mother to know I had two more children as it was bad enough having Philip,” she said of the stigma at the time of being an unmarried mother.
