He was the co-founder, lead vocalist, bassist, and primary songwriter for the hard rock band <a href="/wiki/Thin_Lizzy" title="Thin Lizzy">Thin Lizzy</a>. He was known for his distinctive <a href="/wiki/Plectrum" title="Plectrum">pick</a>-based style on the bass and for his imaginative lyrical contributions, including working-class tales and numerous characters drawn from personal influences and <a href="/wiki/Celts_(modern)" title="Celts (modern)">Celtic culture</a>. </p><p>Lynott was born in the <a href="/wiki/West_Midlands_(region)" title="West Midlands (region)">West Midlands</a> of England and grew up in <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a> with his grandparents. He remained close to his mother, <a href="/wiki/Philomena_Lynott" title="Philomena Lynott">Philomena</a>, throughout his life. He fronted several bands as a lead vocalist, including <a href="/wiki/Skid_Row_(Irish_band)" title="Skid Row (Irish band)">Skid Row</a> alongside <a href="/wiki/Gary_Moore" title="Gary Moore">Gary Moore</a>, before learning the bass guitar and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969. After initial success with "<a href="/wiki/Whiskey_in_the_Jar" title="Whiskey in the Jar">Whiskey in the Jar</a>", the band had several hits in the mid-1970s, such as "<a href="/wiki/The_Boys_Are_Back_in_Town" title="The Boys Are Back in Town">The Boys Are Back in Town</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Jailbreak_(Thin_Lizzy_song)" title="Jailbreak (Thin Lizzy song)">Jailbreak</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Waiting_for_an_Alibi" title="Waiting for an Alibi">Waiting for an Alibi</a>", and became a popular live attraction combining Lynott's vocal and songwriting skills with dual lead guitars. Towards the end of the 1970s, Lynott embarked upon a solo career and published two books of poetry. After Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band <a href="/wiki/Grand_Slam_(band)" title="Grand Slam (band)">Grand Slam</a>. </p><p>In the 1980s, Lynott increasingly suffered drug-related problems, particularly an addiction to <a href="/wiki/Heroin" title="Heroin">heroin</a>. In 1985, he had a final chart success with Moore, "<a href="/wiki/Out_in_the_Fields_(song)" title="Out in the Fields (song)">Out in the Fields</a>", before his death in 1986. He remains a popular figure in the rock world, and in 2005, a statue in his memory was erected in Dublin. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phil_Lynott&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Early life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Thin Lizzy in 1974" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png/220px-Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="221" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png/330px-Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png/440px-Thin_Lizzy_-_TopPop_1974_1.png 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="502" /></a><figcaption>Thin Lizzy in 1974</figcaption></figure> <p>Phil Lynott was born in <a href="/wiki/Sandwell_General_Hospital" title="Sandwell General Hospital">Hallam Hospital</a> in <a href="/wiki/West_Bromwich" title="West Bromwich">West Bromwich</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEByrne200613_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEByrne200613-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> His mother, <a href="/wiki/Philomena_Lynott" title="Philomena Lynott">Philomena Lynott</a>, was born in <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEByrne200612_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEByrne200612-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBC1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBC1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and his father, Cecil Parris, was from <a href="/wiki/Georgetown,_Guyana" title="Georgetown, Guyana">Georgetown</a>, <a href="/wiki/British_Guiana" title="British Guiana">British Guiana</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Express_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Express-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Philomena met Parris, who had moved to the United Kingdom to seek work, in Birmingham in 1948 and they were in a relationship for a few months, until Parris was transferred to London.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEByrne200612_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEByrne200612-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Shortly afterwards, Philomena found she was pregnant and, after Lynott was born, she moved with her baby to a home for unmarried mothers in <a href="/wiki/Selly_Park" title="Selly Park">Selly Park</a>, where he was baptised on 4 September.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEThomson201613_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThomson201613-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Philomena subsequently moved to <a href="/wiki/Manchester" title="Manchester">Manchester</a> but stayed in touch with Parris who helped pay towards his son's support.
