Ngaphandle kweThin Lizzy, uLynott wayewonwabele umsebenzi ophumeleleyo yedwa kwaye usebenzisana namanye amagama amakhulu omculo, kubandakanya u-Eric Clapton kunye noMark Knopfler. Ukusweleka kukaLynott kuthumele ukothuka kwihlabathi lomculo kwaye kwashiya abalandeli benxunguphele. Ilahleko yakhe yavakala ngokukhethekileyo kwilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa eIreland, apho wayegqalwa njengegorha lesizwe. Kuze kube namhlanje, i-legend kaLynott iyaqhubeka iphila ngomculo wakhe kunye nabaculi abaninzi abaye baphenjelelwa ngumsebenzi wakhe.

UPhil Lynott wayengumntu wokuqala omnyama waseIreland ukufikelela kwincopho yempumelelo ebalulekileyo yomculo, nokuba yayilixesha elifutshane. Waqala iqela lakhe lamaphupha, uThin Lizzy, ngasekupheleni kuka-1969 kunye nomhlobo wakhe wobuntwana kunye nomculi weqela elisemthethweni uBrian Downey. Amanye amalungu adityaniswa rhoqo kulo lonke uhambo lwawo.

Nangona kunjalo, uLynott akazange ayive incasa yempumelelo njengoko ilangatye lobomi bakhe latshatyalaliswa ngumoya obulalayo ngowe-1986 eneminyaka engama-36 ubudala. ibiphuma ingalawuleki. Noko ke, uGerry Greg, umalathisi wale nkqubo UPhil Lynott: Iimfihlo kwiDolophu endala , wabanga ukuba kukho iimpawu zokuqala zobuthathaka bukaLynott obamtyhalela ezantsi kwithambeka elimtyibilizi.

Ekhumbula ukudutyulwa komboniso, uGreg watsho , Indawo enzima kakhulu yayiyiHa'Penny Bridge kwaye yayiyeyokuqala. Besifike kwakusasa, malunga no8am. Safika salinda uPhil salinda salinda...anyway wafika. Wayenepaper bag emdaka kwaye wayesoloko ekhupha kuyo. Ndicinga ukuba sesinye sezizathu zokuba uphoswe kwindawo yakhe kwibhulorho.

Umzabalazo oqhubekayo kaLynott wokujongana nobulolo bakhe yayingumba obalulekileyo owamqhubela ekubeni likhoboka leheroin. ULynott wakhulela eIreland kunye notatomkhulu wakhe ngelixa umama wakhe wayengekho, nangona wayenxibelelana, eBritane kwaye utata wakhe wayengekho. Thin Lizzy, nto leyo ethetha lukhulu kuye njengosapho, bohlukana ngo-1983 ngenxa yokungafani kwezimvo. Oku kwalandelwa kuqhawulo-mtshato lukaLynott kunye nomfazi wakhe uCaroline Crowther ngo-1984 ngenxa yeengxaki zakhe zokulutha, ukuthatha iintombi zakhe ezithandekayo kuye kwaye zimshiya yedwa kwakhona.

Ukuze amelane nentlungu nentlungu yakhe, uLynott waseka usapho olutsha, iqela elibizwa ngokuba yiGrand Slam. Eli qela lalinengxaki kwasekusekweni kwalo. Igcwele ulwahlulo rhoqo kunye nothotho lweengoma zomndilili, akukho ileyibhile ifuna ukuzityikitya ngenxa yokuxhomekeka kwabo kumachiza.

Yayingesosiphelo esi; kwakuseza kubakho izibetho eziqatha. Ukulandela uloyiso oludlulayo emva kokusebenza noGary Moore kwingoma yakhe ethi 'Out in the Fields', umphathi kaLynott uChris ushiye uLynott kuphela ukuba atyale imali yakhe kwiprojekthi entsha yeGrand Slam.

Le nto ihendayo inokwenzeka yayisekupheleni kokuzaliseka ngexesha lekonsathi ye-Live Aid ka-1985 eyayiququzelelwa nguGoldof noMidge Ure, ababengabahlobo noLynott. Esinye seziganeko ezinkulu kwimbali yomculo, ikonsathi ayizange iphumelele uLynott njengoko iphakamisa iqela lase-Ireland i-U2 endaweni yeThin Lizzy.

UDarren Wharton, owayesakuba lilungu leThin Lizzy, uphawule ngokuphoxeka ajamelene nako uLynott, esithi : Yayisisigqibo esibuhlungu. Kusenokuba kuchacha kuPhil, owayenengxaki yeziyobisi. Nangona kukho iingxaki, unokulungela umboniso. Andiqondi ukuba uPhil wakhe wamxolela uBob noMidge ngaloo nto.

Ekholelwa ukuba umculo lolona nyango lwakhe kuphela, uLynott wazigxotha ezinye iindlela zoncedo waza waqalisa umsebenzi wakhe eyedwa. Nangona kunjalo, ngelo xesha, uLynott walahlekelwa lonke ulawulo phezu komzimba wakhe kwaye wavumela ukuba i-heroin ithathe indawo.

Waquleka ephakathi kulo msebenzi waza wabalekiselwa esibhedlele ngamalungu osapho lwakhe awayesele efile. Emva kokufunyaniswa ukuba une-septicemia, uLynott walwa nobomi kangangeentsuku ezilishumi ngaphambi kokuba asweleke nge-4 kaJanuwari. Unobangela wokufa waqinisekiswa ukuba kukungaphumeleli kwentliziyo ngenxa yenyumoniya kunye nosulelo kwamanye amalungu, konke oko kwenziwa mandundu kukusebenzisa utywala neziyobisi.

Iyamangalisa indlela isithukuthezi kunye nentswelo yenkampani emchaphazela ngayo umntu. Mhlawumbi, kuthethwa ngokufanelekileyo ukuba abantu zizilwanyana zentlalo. Ihambe kwakamsinya, uPhil Lynott akachazanga nto imbi.
