Saw him play at Thin Lizzy's last ever uk show with Phil Lynott at the Reading Festival in 1983. Great memories. RIP John Sykes.

Re: John Sykes
Saw him at a College do at what was Golden Palms in Blackburn when he was with Streetfighter circa 78/79. Stood out as a hell of a guitarist then. RIP.
Re: John Sykes
So sad to hear about the death of John Sykes. Amazing musician
Brought my son to hear him play and he was an influence on him as he plays guitar in band now. Rest in peace John.
