Phil Lynott "Thin Lizzy" Rockstar's Chaotic Life Made Him Lulled into H*ro*n Addiction, So Crazy !!

Phil Lynott was born in Hallam Hospital in West Bromwich England, His mother Philomena Lynott was born in Dublin, and his father Cecil Parris was from Georgetown British Guiana. Philomena met Parris who had moved to England to seek work in Birmingham in 1948 and they were in a relationship for a few months, until Parris was transferred to London. Shortly afterwards Philomena found she was pregnant and after Lynott was born, she moved with her baby to a home for unmarried mothers in Selly Park, where he was baptised on 4 September. Philomena subsequently moved to Manchester but stayed in touch with Parris who helped pay towards his son's support, She subsequently had two more children who were placed for adoption, Lynott believed he was different from his peers at school, but didn't suffer any major racist attacks. Lynott first attended school in Moss Side Manchester, In 1957 due to accounts of racism and Lynott being mixed race, his mother sent him to live with his grandparents Frank and Sarah Lynott in Crumlin Dublin. The move was important as the presence of Frank gave him a father figure for the first time in his life, His mother stayed in Manchester and remained close to her son. She later took over the management of the Clifton Grange Hotel in Whalley Range with her partner Dennis Keeley. The hotel nicknamed The Biz became popular with showbusiness entertainers and was later referred to in a song on Thin Lizzy's debut album, Lynott had a happy childhood growing up in Dublin and was a popular character at school. Towards the end of 1969 Lynott and Downey were introduced to guitarist Eric Bell via founding member of Them keyboardist Eric Wrixon. Deciding that Bell was a better guitarist and with Lynott now confident enough to play bass himself the four formed Thin Lizzy. The name came from the character Tin Lizzie in the comic The Dandy which in turn came from the nickname for the Ford Model T car. The H was deliberately added to mimic the way the word thin is pronounced in a Dublin accent, Lynott later discovered the saying attributed to Henry Ford Any colour you like as long as it's black which he felt was appropriate for him. Wrixon was felt by the others to be surplus to requirements and left after the release of the band's first single The Farmer in July 1970. in short Towards the end of 1972 Thin Lizzy got their first major break in the UK by supporting Slade, then nearing the height of their commercial success. Inspired by Noddy Holder's top hat with mirrors, Lynott decided to attach a mirror to his bass which he carried over to subsequent tours. On the opening night of the tour an altercation broke out between Lynott and Slade's manager Chas Chandler, who chastised Lynott's lack of stage presence and interaction with the audience and threatened to throw Lizzy off the tour unless things improved immediately. Lynott subsequently developed the onstage rapport and stage presence that would become familiar over the remainder of the decade.
