On this day in 1986, after a long battle with addiction, Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott dies at age 36. In the 1980s, Lynott increasingly suffered drug-related problems, particularly an addiction to heroin. In 1985, he had a final chart success with Moore, "Out in the Fields", followed by the minor hit "Nineteen", 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. | MONSTERS OF ROCK
