Thin Lizzy To Mark Anniversaries This Year With Live Shows

(Classic Rock) Thin Lizzy have announced live dates to mark the 30th anniversary of Phil Lynott's death and to celebrate 40 years since their Jailbreak release. They're planning a handful of shows over the next year or so, with the first taking place at the Ramblin' Man Fair, at Ashford, Kent, UK, on July 23 this year.

The second will be onboard the Rock Legends Cruise from January 19-23, 2017. It departs from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And the lineup featuring guitarists Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson, frontman Ricky Warwick and keyboardist Darren Wharton, have invited Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee to join them.

Gorham says: "With Black Star Riders taking some time off the road to work on their third album, I thought it would be really cool to do some Thin Lizzy shows as it's an anniversary year, to have some fun and to re-live the good old days.

"We will only do half a dozen or so dates to keep them special. For personal reasons Brian Downey won't be with us but we have the incredible Mikkey Dee on the drum stool, which we are all very excited about. We will announce who is on bass shortly." Read more here.
