Take a look at the official trailer for Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away below.

Following the release of a teaser trailer last week, the official full-length trailer for the highly anticipated new Philip Lynott documentary has finally been released – coinciding with what would have been the legendary Thin Lizzy frontman's 71st birthday.

Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away, which lands in cinemas this autumn, was created by Irish filmmaker Emer Reynolds, who directed the Emmy Award-winning documentary The Farthest, and has been acquired for distribution by Break Out Pictures. The feature-length documentary chronicles Lynott's life and career, and will be told extensively through his own words, as well as interviews with Metallica, Adam Clayton, Midge Ure, Eric Bell and Scott Gorham, among others.

Take a look at the official trailer below:
