Sad news from the heavy metal world. Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister passed away at his home days after being diagnosed with cancer. As of this moment we haven't seen any info pertaining to the cause of death.
Heaven just got a bit louder. RIP
The sad news was confirmed on the Official Motorhead Facebook page saying, “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 learned of the disease on 26 December, and was at home, sitting in front of his favourite 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.
HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.
The band signed off: “Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister
1945 -2015
Born to lose, lived to win.”
Lemmy, born Ian Fraser Kilmister, formed Motörhead in 1975 and was its only constant member, as singer and bassist. The band released 23 studio albums and are best known for their 1980 single Ace of Spades.
