Phil Lynott sculpture unveiled in town where ex-THIN LIZZY frontman was born
24 August 2021
A statue saluting the memory of Phil Lynott has been officially unveiled in West Bromwich, the town where the late THIN LIZZY leader was born and lived before his mother Philomena sent him to live with his grandparents in Dublin.
The piece, designed by local sculptor Luke Perry, features a likeness of the vocalist/bassist set on a metal plinth engraved with the text: “Phil Lynott. Son of West Bromwich. Born in this town. 20th August 1949.”
It was crowd-funded by THIN LIZZY fans worldwide, led by Sean Meaney. Previously, in 2019, Meany successfully campaigned to have a plaque placed in the local hospital where Lynott was born.
