SCOTT GORHAM (THIN LIZZY, BLACK STAR RIDERS) WURDE 70 JAHRE ALT
Jens-Uwe BerndtTeilen
Seinen 70. Geburtstag beging am 17. März Thin-Lizzy-Sunnyboy Scott Gorham. Der in Kalifornien geborene Gitarrist stieg 1974 bei Thin Lizzy ein und wurde dort im Zusammenspielt mit Brian Robertson (bis 1978) und später mit Gary Moore, Snowy White und John Sykes zur Twin-Lead-Säule im Gesamtsound der irischen Hard Rocker. Seit NIGHTLIFE (1974) bis zur Auflösung 1983 ist Gorham auf allen Lizzy-Alben zu hören. Ähnlich wie sein Band-Chef Phil Lynott hatte Gorham eine zeitlang schwer mit Drogen- und Alkoholproblemen zu kämpfen. Scott Gorham spielte bei Phenomena II, gründete 21 Guns, hatte Beiträge bei unter anderem Asia und Supertramp und rief 1996 Thin Lizzy wieder ins Leben. 2012 ließ er das damalige Lizzy-Line-up in die neue Band Black Star Riders übergleiten, denen er immer noch angehört. Herzlichen Glückwunsch.
