However, his legacy lives on through his timeless music and the countless artists he influenced. From Slash to The Edge, Gallagher's impact on the rock and blues world is undeniable. So, whether you're a die-hard fan or new to Gallagher's discography, take a journey through his back catalogue and discover the magic of this guitar virtuoso.
