<p>Sir Bob Geldof praised late guitarist Gary Moore as &#8220;one of the greats&#8221; as he added his voice to tributes to the former Thin Lizzy star and blues player.</p>
<p>The 58-year-old, originally from Belfast, was found dead in a hotel room on the Costa del Sol in the early hours of Sunday.</p>
<p>Spanish authorities said there were no signs of foul play but police will await the results of a post-mortem examination before deciding if an investigation is needed.</p>
<p>Sir Bob said Moore&#8217;s work had been a huge influence on later rock acts, particularly bands such as Guns N&#8217; Roses, adding that he was also a fine blues guitarist.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is one of the great blues players,&#8221; he told Radio 5 Live.</p>
<p>&#8220;Axl Rose will say that without Thin Lizzy, you don&#8217;t get Guns N&#8217; Roses and that whole idea of rock and roll and Gary was sort of fundamental in developing that twin-guitar, lyrical thing like on Parisian Walkway.</p>
<p>&#8220;But really you didn&#8217;t have to cut the skin hard to find just a great great blues player, and absolutely one of the best,&#8221; said Geldof, who had been a close friend of Thin Lizzy&#8217;s singer Phil Lynott who died in 1986.</p>
<p>Former colleagues of Moore were stunned by his death.</p>
<p>Founding member of Lizzy, Brian Downey, said: &#8220;I am in total shock.</p>
<p>&#8220;He will always be in my thoughts and prayers and I just can&#8217;t believe he is gone.&#8221;</p>
