Thin Lizzy have announced that Damon Johnson is now a full-time member of the band.

The guitarist, who spent six years with Alice Cooper (picture below), was originally brought in to replace Vivian Campbell for the band’s current American tour with Judas Priest.

Says Scott Gorham: “Damon brings back the classic feel Thin Lizzy had when Phil Lynott was still with us. He has been kicking ass every night and asking him to join was a no-brainer”.
