Motorhead have released a statement following the death of lead singer and found Lemmy at 70.

Lemmy has died after a short battle with an aggressive cancer. Motorhead had recently cancelled shows because of Lemmy’s illness.

Motorhead statement

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.

HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.

Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister
1945 -2015

Born to lose, lived to win.

Motorhead even once starred in an episode of The Young Ones. Watch and enjoy.
