65 years old, died of cancer. He co-wrote some of the songs on
Whitesnake's 1987 album, played guitar on the recorded tracks (although
David Coverdale fired the recording band and hired a new band to tour).

Before that, he played guitar with Thin Lizzy. Afterwards, he had a
killer band in the late '80s/early '90s called Blue Murder with The
Firm's Tony Franklin on Bass and Carmine Appice (Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart)
on drums. He then went on to sing and play guitar in the reformed Thin
Lizzy.

Blue Murder's self-titled debut spent a couple of years in my car
stereo.

RIP.
