METAL AT THE MOVIES V.011: PART 6: GARY MOORE DOCUMENTARY


According to Classic Rock, a GARY MOORE documentary is in production.
FROM CLASSIC ROCK and BWBK.COM:

Titled White Knuckles & Blue Moods, it’s being made by Jörgen Holmstedt and Stefan Mossberg, who’ve been working on the film for several years. It includes contributions from Don Airey, Jon Hiseman, John Sykes, Brian Downey, Eric Bell, Brian Robertson and the late Gary Moore himself.


On Sunday, February 6th, 2011 musician Gary Moore died in his sleep of a heart attack while on holiday in Spain.

Acknowledged as one of the finest guitarists that the British Isles has ever produced; Gary Moore’s career dated back to the sixties. Moore graced the lineups of several notable rock bands including THIN LIZZY, COLLOSSEUM II and SKID ROW, to name but three, and to this year maintained a highly successful solo career.

Gary is survived by four children; daughters Saoirse and Lily and sons Jack and Gus. His family take great comfort in the fact he died of natural causes and was looking forward to his holiday prior to recording a new album. Gary was thrilled by new guitars he had just bought and was planning to play shows throughout the world, later this year.

His family has requested that their privacy is respected during this sad time and no further comment will be made. They would very much like to express their heartfelt thanks for the show of support and all the kind messages from friends and fans alike, the world over.
The hour-long documentary is to be released later in the year. Check out a trailer below:
