Motörhead - Forced To End Show Early In Utah, Cancel Denver Show


While Motörhead should be celebrating the release of their new album, Bad Magic, things aren't going well for Lemmy of late and in the last few years. After the band was forced to cut short a show in Salt Lake City earlier in the week after the 69 year-old frontman had some breathing problems, they ended up canceling their performance at the Riot Fest for the same reasons. Motörhead played just 4 songs in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The heavy metal icon Lemmy Kilmister has been in frail health since undergoing heart bypass surgery and later suffering a haematoma in 2013.

Motörhead reassured the fans that the problem was caused by the city's altitude.

Here is what the band said via Facebook: "The Rocky Mountain High has affected Lemmy like the high altitude of Salt Lake City. It's been quite a while since Lemmy was this 'high' in the US, and thus having got a burst of altitude sickness (which made it hard for him to breathe and sing properly) he has very reluctantly decided not perform in Denver. Lemmy is really sorry and wants to thank the fans for their support and trust. He looks forward to the next-up Texas shows... at low elevations."

Take a bow, Lemmy, you dominated the world of metal, take your rest now, you've earned it.
