Motörhead - Lemmy's Statue Unveiled At Rainbow Bar & Grill
Following the untimely passing of iconic Motörhead bassist/frontman Lemmy Kilmister, the Rainbow Bar & Grill has unveiled a permanent statue of him, who was a regular at the Sunset Strip bar in West Hollywood. One fan, Katon De Pena, singer of LA thrash band Hirax, suggested erecting a statue in honor of Lemmy in his favorite LA haunt, the Rainbow Bar & Grill. The life-size bronze sculpture was commissioned after fans and friends contributed to a fundraising campaign following Lemmy's death in December. The statue is just another reminder that this legend will never die.


Over $22,000 were crowdsourced for the statue and Maglieri (Rainbow owner) commissioned a company called Big Statues and tapped local artist Travis Moore. Lemmy is now forever immortalized in a six-foot-two bronze statue based on a photograph by rock photographer Robert John.
The statue will remain at the Rainbow and open to the public, while De Pena says money leftover from the Kickstarter campaign will be donated to Ronnie James Dio's Stand Up and Shout Fund.
