Phil wanted to get clean. Unfortunately, he didn’t get or seek the help he needed. His music got me through my teenage years and, now I’m 57, I wish he was still here. Always a legend

Poor Phil, he's explaining himself 😔

I get a sense of his warmth as a human being.

Phil nailed it here. The drug trade is a billion dollar industry and the ones putting it out onto the market and raking in the money aren’t the users and small time dealers. It looks good for governments to be seen to be doing something, and cleaning up the street level drugs, but there is too much money involved at the end of the day, and sadly, it will continue to cost us brilliant and gifted people like Phil.

Lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy live when I was 15. Lynott was a genius, just like his hero and friend Georgie Best!!!

He was a very lovable man, a nice guy throughout. Sadly he couldn’t get it together at the end. He’s pretty strung in this video, RIP Brother…xx

Discovering his music in the early 80ties I was preparing myselfe to experience Thin Lizzy live, but he died before I had that chance, extremly sad.. the feeling about that is still with me

He's right about Narcotics Anonymous replacing narcotic abuse. However, it is a far healthier addiction. Everyone needs something to believe in.

Heroin doesn't recognise talent it takes no prisoners !

He's very breathless on here

I just loved philo his poetry of lyrics.hes so human so down to earth and so so so proud of been Irish

He is a high as kite here. Such a damn really shame that drugs destroyed this guy.... Smh... But once you are an addict its really a hell in itself to break free from.

Just treat your kids well. Drugs are a symptom

Fuck me his voice is another fuckin thing than his voice. His sounds like my Grandfather or a Dublin Airport staff member lol. RIP Phil, we miss you buddy

That brief shot of the woman, she's looking at him as if he's a peace of shite

Man, I feel so bad for Phil. I lost my uncle to drugs and addicts deserve the same amount of help as anyone else batting a mental health issue. They have to want the help but it’s so hard. Rip, Phil. You’ve inspired me as a musician

He's right every pusher I've known dealing in ozs or kilos was an addict. Some were more fucked up on methadone but same difference

RIP Phil! I've been on a Thin Lizzy binge this week and know what addiction is like!

It's called jumping through Windows! I love Phil he was one of the greatest rock bass players the world will ever know! Thin Lizzy will always be one of my favorite rock bands!

I wish he was still here
