. (House of Rock) A Hollywood movie based on the life of late Thin Lizzy frontman/bassist Phil Lynott has been shelved, after surviving band members accused filmmakers of sensationalizing the star's drug abuse.

Lynott died of heart failure and pneumonia on January 4, 1986 at the age of 36, after years of alcohol and drug abuse.
