(Rock News Desk) Thin Lizzy legend Phil Lynott had a brother and sister he never knew about � because his mum couldn't bear to share her guilty secret.

Philomena Lynott has finally brought daughter Philomena, 60, and son Leslie, 58, into the limelight, after giving them up for adoption at birth then reconnecting with them decades ago.

And she says she always wanted to tell of her hidden family � but the pressure of being an unmarried mother to Lynott was already a massive challenge. Philomena tells the Irish Times: "I don't walk around ashamed any more that I had two other children. When I lost Philip I thought that was the end. But now I have these two wonderful people loving me." more on this story
