THIN LIZZY guitarist Scott Gorham has expressed his disappointment over the fact that his band will not be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this year.
The Phil Lynott-fronted outfit was on the ballot for the class of 2020 but failed to receive enough votes.
On Thursday (January 16), Gorham took to social media to write:
“Firstly I would like to congratulate all the winners who have been inducted into the 2020 Hall Of Fame.
“I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to all THIN LIZZY fans around the world, who voted in huge numbers to support our nomination to be inducted into Hall Of Fame. To receive a nomination after so many years was indeed an honour and one that would have celebrated Philip for his genius to write music and lyrics that has touched us all.
“It is of course disappointing that despite your efforts, we did not make the final cut. It would have been great to be inducted, but knowing of your continued support over the years means ultimately more than being recognised by a panel of industry experts.
“I really wish there could be a Hall Of Fame for THIN LIZZY supporters, as I would definitely vote for each and everyone of you, because you truly understood what we were trying to do.”

RnR hall of fame sucks… notorious big.. really…. lol I became a member shortly after they started to build in it Cleveland Ohio.. and walked away when rappers became inducted above real Rock Artists.. and Todd Rundgren STILL ISN’T IN.. WTF
Time will tell….
As for as I’me concerned,
even Mick Jagger has the looks of a midget
compared to Phil Lynott as a genuine rock’n roll musician…
They might as well rename the damn thing as ‘the Pop and trolls Hall of fame’….
Phil Lynott was a genius, and this was one of the greatest bands ever. It’s a shame they haven’t been inducted yet, it’s long overdue. But as usually, it’s all about the money the record companies make with the artists rather than for the art itself. F*** them.
