Rest in peace, Phil Lynott.
Phil Lynott, the iconic singer and bass player of Thin Lizzy, is 30 years gone today.
As one of the most influential and talented Irish musicians in history, it’s no surprise at all that social media is flooded with tributes to the man.
Here’s some of our favourite tweets dedicated to the rock n’ roll front man, as well as a photo of his mam Philomena with the statue of her son on Harry St, Dublin.
