Motörhead - Frontman Deceased


It has just been announced that the legendary frontman Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister of the UK heavy metallers Motörhead passed away sometime yesterday, December 28th, after a short, aggressive fight with cancer.

The remaining members of the band states: "There is no easy way to say this?our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from The Rainbow which had recently made it's way down the street, with his family.

We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren't words.

We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please... Play Motörhead loud, play Hawkwind loud, play Lemmy's music LOUD.

Have a drink or few. Share stories. Celebrate the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself."


(24 December 1945 - 28 December 2015)

I didn't even know he had cancer. I saw him a few months ago at Riotfest and he seemed a bit off on stage, like he was losing vitality. Damn, RIP...he will forever be remembered as a rock/metal icon.

This is terribly sad. I'm sure we all have our Motörhead stories. I remember when I was young (I'm old now) and learning how to play Motörhead songs on guitar. I really liked the speed of the songs and I really liked Lemmy's unique voice.

RIP and Respect, Lemmy.

He was apparently diagnosed on boxing Day, so I wonder how long he'd had it without knowing.

Shit, can't say I've ever been an actual Motörhead fan, but Overkill was certainly one of the songs I listened to the most during my teenage years. I shall raise a glass of whisky in Lemmy's honor tonight. And blast some more Motörhead for the years to come.

It was even announced right in the middle of freaking Monday Night Raw. That's how much of a big deal this man was. Coincidentally, this is where I first heard of Motorhead, playing Triple H's theme song The Game. We really have come full circle.

He was a musical legend in the truest sense. Lemmy was the rare individual who could live both as though he would never die and as though he were constantly about to die. It's rare to find a band that he didn't influence. Rest in peace, Lemmy.

Yeah, there was no cancer before we started tampering with the water supply, and administering vaccines. It's not like his insane lifestyle could have contributed to the onset of cancer, and it's not like cancer is far more common in people who live to older ages. You know, those ever increasing ages people are living to. And wild animals don't get cancer either, only humans. It's all Bush's fault.

Actually you can catch cancer like any common cold. One minute you're sitting on a train, the next some old woman coughs into your face. BOOM. Cancer. Same with AIDS. Don't believe what the media tells you.
