Sad news, RIP Phil...he was Tommy Emmanuel's' elder brother and also a superb guitarist.

That is dreadfully sad news.
I have just been watching the brothers playing a Shads medley - wonderful.
RIP Phil.

This is indeed sad news, Phil was an absolutely phenomenal guitar player.

I was watching Phil's brother Tommy play a concert at St Georges, Bristol just 2 days before this sad event so Tommy must have been in mid tour when it happened. Incidentally, his support act, the hugely talented Frank Vignola, played a medley including a very jazz flavoured version of Apache. Afterwards he said, "High Five to Hank Marvin and then " High Two" after a Django Reinhardt number. The guitarists in the audience got the joke. Sad news indeed about Phil Emmanuel.

If anyone is interested, there is a Facebook post containing a "Go Fund Me" link on the "Phil Emmanuel Official" Facebook page. It is to help with final expenses.

If you're not a Facebook user, here is the URL of the Go Fund Me page, which is called Phil's Last Gig.
