Gary Moore

Gary Moore, yet another alumnus of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, has been described as an absolute virtuoso. With several bands and as a solo artist, he had success. As a recording artist, he had eleven Top 40 solo releases in the UK. In 1993, he also played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, both formally from Cream, to release an album. Sadly, at the age of 58 in 2011, Moore died of a heart attack in his sleep.
