According to blabbermouth.net, Australia’s Golden Robot Records has announced plans to release a posthumous EP from legendary English guitarist John Sykes (Tygers Of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Blue Murder, Sykes).
According to the label, this “deeply special and historic release,” which is expected to arrive later this year, will “offer fans a powerful final chapter from one of rock’s most revered guitarists.”
The two most recent songs that Sykes publicly shared were 2020’s Dawning Of A Brand New Day (listen here) and Out Alive (listen here), both which were to be on this forthcoming Sy-Ops album.
Sykes, who performed with Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake in the 1980s, died in January 2025 following a battle with cancer, a statement posted on his verified Facebook page revealed. He was 65 years old.
