The following simple post in the official site was a shock to the Metal/Rock community. The great guitarist/singer/composer Gary Moore is no longer with us.
"It is with deep sorrow and regret, that we have to announce that Gary Moore passed away while on holiday in Spain last night. Our thoughts are with his children, family and friends at this sad time.
Gary Moore, RIP 1952-2011"
