EDEN'S CURSE Frontman On GARY MOORE: 'He Might Be Gone But His Music Will Forever Speak To Us' - Feb. 7, 2011
Frontman Michael Eden of the multinational melodic metal band EDEN'S CURSE has released the following statement regarding to the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:

"Man, I can't believe it was 24 years ago I saw Gary Moore for the first time.

"One word says it all today... shocked!!

"Gary Moore left us far too soon. He just played an amazing hard rock set last year and many of us were pleased he might have been doing that again so we could see it once again.

"Gary did things with a guitar that most guitar players can only dream about. His music in regards to THIN LIZZY or his later solo efforts with Phil [Lynott] and Glenn Hughes should be known as some of the best hard rock ever made. From 'Empty Rooms' to 'Over The Hills', it is with a huge loss that this legend is now gone. He might be gone now but his music will forever speak to us!

"Crank it to 11, Moore! Phil and a few friends are waiting to jam!"

EDEN'S CURSE's third studio album, "Trinity", is scheduled for release in mid-March.

EAGLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT 'Deeply Saddened' By GARY MOORE's Passing - Feb. 7, 2011
Eagle Rock Entertainment has been deeply saddened by the news of the death of Gary Moore, the consummate musician acknowledged as one of the finest guitarists that the British Isles has ever produced. In a career that dates back to the 1960s, there are few musical genres that he has not turned his adroit musical hand to, and on top of his acclaimed solo work he has graced the lineups of several notable rock bands, THIN LIZZY, COLOSSEUM II and SKID ROW, to name but three.

Eagle Rock Entertainment was privileged to work with Gary Moore and his team on many projects over the past few years — releasing his three most recent studio albums, a live box set album, three DVDs and a Blu-ray. It was a relationship that began in 2004 and was cherished by all those at the label.

Lindsay Brown of Eagle Rock Entertainment commented: "Gary Moore was truly a giant of contemporary guitarists. We feel honored to have worked with him, released his amazing music and indeed to have called him a friend. He will be sorely missed by all those who knew him, and all fans of original guitar music, and leaves a gap that simply cannot be filled."

Mike Carden, president of operations in North America, adds: "It isn't often you get the opportunity to work with a legend who is also a gentlemen. Gary Moore was such a legend he will be sorely missed."

GARY MOORE Died Of Suspected Heart Attack - Feb. 7, 2011
According to Mirror.co.uk, legendary guitarist Gary Moore died of a suspected heart attack, a postmortem revealed earlier today (Monday, February 7).

Moore died in his sleep yesterday morning, hours after checking into the five-star Kempinski Hotel in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, Spain with an unnamed female friend. He was 58 years old.

While forensic experts are satisfied Moore died from natural causes, they requested further tests on tissue samples taken from his body ahead of a final report.

A Spanish police spokesman said today, "Mr. Moore died of natural causes and his death is not in any way suspicious. An investigating magistrate has opened a standard inquiry to determine the exact cause of death."

British tabloid The Sun reported earlier today — apparently erroneously — that Moore choked on his vomit after knocking back champagne and brandy before being discovered around 4 a.m.
