One of the greatest blues-rock guitarists of all time, Gary Moore (Robert William Gary Moore) died Sunday morning, February 6th 2011, in his sleep during his vacation in Costa del Sol hotel (Malaga, Spain).

Moore was born April 4th 1952 in Belfast, and during his music carreer he recorded many solo albums, cooperated with many other musicians and bands. Even though he was briefly cooperating with them, many people connect him to Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott, but he only made one album, "Black Rose: A Rock Legend" (1979).

Rest in peace, Gary Moore, and rock on in heaven too.
