The highly influential Motörhead became an institution and the heart of the band, iconic frontman/bassist Lemmy Kilmister, passed away at the end of last year after a battle with cancer, and with his death Motörhead is over as well. No more tours or records. He will be laid to rest on January 9th and his funeral will be webcast on Motörhead's YouTube channel. They want it to be a day to celebrate the life of Lemmy. Make a toast and blast some Motörhead.

Here is the official statement: "On Saturday January 9th, the world will come together and celebrate the life of our friend, and legend, Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister. Family and close friends will observe a service at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery, Hollywood, commencing at 3pm PST and ending at 4.30pm. With such limited space available on-site, we respectfully ask that you don't attend the cemetery... but we want you ALL to be a part of this, so we are setting up a live feed of the service via the internet on Motörhead's official You Tube channel.

"So wherever you are, please get together and watch the service with fellow Motörheadbangers and friends. Go to your favorite bar, or your favorite club, make sure they have access to an internet connection and toast along with us. Or simply invite your pals around and celebrate Lemm's life at home. Whatever your venue, and however you can, let's be sure to gather globally on Saturday 9th and celebrate the life of our dear friend and irreplaceable icon.

"For anyone wishing to send flowers, please contact Karen Brando at Flowers by Michael. If you'd like to make a charitable donation under Lemmy's name, please go to: Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund."

Because he had been living in Los Angeles for over 20 years and called this his home

Fair enough. I just figured he might have been buried in his hometown where his roots were. I wasn't having a go, just wondering :p

You are my favorite poster here by far. I have no idea what you're saying most of the time, but it always makes me smile.
