A hospital room. A failing body. Machines translating a lifetime into numbers.
But the man in that bed once commanded arenas.
In this episode of Jonny’s Dead Air, we trace the life of the outsider who became one of rock’s most magnetic frontmen. From a lonely childhood in Dublin to the explosive rise of one of the most influential bands of the 1970s, his songs turned street stories into anthems.
But success has momentum… and sometimes that momentum never slows down.
This is the story of ambition, identity, addiction, and the voice that helped redefine Irish rock — and what happened when the music finally stopped.
