GARY MOORE Left Estate Of More Than $3 Million

April 4, 2011

According to the Belfast Telegraph, former THIN LIZZY guitarist, noted session player, and blues rock icon Gary Moore left an estate worth over £2 million (approximately $3.23 million).

Records released last week show that Moore's estate was worth £2.077 million (approximately $3.36 million) but this was reduced after liabilities to a net figure of £1.021 million (approximately $1.65 million).

According to Ken Sweeney of the Irish Independent, Gary Moore was laid to rest on February 23 in a small village graveyard outside Brighton, England.

Moore's family decided to hold his funeral not in Belfast, Ireland, where he was born, but near where he had made his home in the past 15 years and where his children live.

Lily, one of the guitarist's four children, spoke of her father as "a man with rather colorful shirts, who possessed a childlike quality and was an inspiration to many and the kind of person you could never forget."
