About this title

Review

'Mark Putterford has faithfully reconstructed the life of an illegitimate black child who rose from a childhood of petty taunts because of the colour of his skin to become a hero worldwide, but more importantly, an Irish icon, a person that the whole nation adored...This book is an incisive but easy read; it is not a weighty tome that scrutinises every aspect of Phil Lynott's life in lengthy, drawn out passages...This is a brilliant book about one of rock's true superstars.'

Synopsis

Few performers have encapsulated their chosen art as completely as Philip Lynott did. For most people he was "Thin Lizzy", the charismatic frontman and creative driving force behind one of rock's greatest bands. For others he was the romantic embodiment of the swashbuckling spirit and gypsy soul that fuels rock 'n' roll myths. His drugs-related death in 1986 proved once again that even the blessed can sail too close to the wind.
