Romney faces Thin Lizzy battle

US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has a fight on his hands if he wants to keep using Thin Lizzy music to back his campaign.

The widow of Phil Lynott, the band's frontman, said the singer would not have supported the Republican candidate.

Caroline Lynott-Taraskevics, one of the controllers of the Irishman's estate, has told the band's record company to issue a cease-and-desist order preventing Romney from using Thin Lizzy classics.
