Now it's not broken yet but Sandra Araya (Tom, Slayers wife) just posted it, hoping it's not true but he's been very ill lately, still looking for a reputable link, think Eddie Trunk broke it

Smoked since he was 12 I think and was never without a JD in his hand.
If youre not a lemmy fan just read his biography "white line fever"
So funny and a real insight into a legend.

From Motorhead's FB page

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.

Even beavis and butthead refused to take the piss out of Lemmy, rip

The word "legend" is often over used,but lemmy was a true legend in the rock and roll world.i seen motorhead many times in the 80,s and 90,s and no other band that i seen rocked the venue like they did.r.i.p lemmy you are and always will be the ace of spades.....you will be sadly missed.

Atlantic Dawn

RIP, just goes to show you should enjoy yourself to the max at all times, 70 is a good long life.

weemcd

Haven't Motorhead basically been on tour since they started?

Like they've been almost constantly on the go for decades?

Fair play to the man, he was obviously built like an ox to live the life he did.

R.I.P

Dyr

An absolute legend who never got the credit he deserved as a lyricist

He was gigging a few months ago they had to cancel gigs because he obviously wasn't up to it, man always said he'd be happy to die to on a stage

K.Flyer

So sad to hear the news.
R.I.P.
The Ace Of Spades.

RIP Lemmy, I wasn't a big fan of Motorhead but he was a legend nonetheless.

Not entirely correct, a few months ago theyt cancelled a few shows in The U.S, Lemmy was ill and they blamed it on altitude/heat

Since then they completed the first Euro Leg of the Bad Magic Tour, the last gig being in Germany on Dec 11th

Herb Powell

It's been coming for a while.

Fart

Crap! Rip you legend!

Dyr

Philthy Phil only died a wee while back too, wurzel is gone a few years now I think.

Some band for one band

suicide_circus

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

timthumbni

Imagine God or the devil meeting Lemmy........ He was hve them in his pocket in a minute. And I bet he makes them talk upwards to the microphone too.......

the evasion_kid

no way.....absoutely gutted

Sad news, his health was rapidly declining, glad I seen them 20+ times throughout the years. Had a ticket to a UK show in the new year, not that it matters now.

RIP Lemmy.

Can't believe this, so sad, we were playing Motorhead over Christmas.

Say Your Number

Not at all surprising but still he was a legend, given how he abused his body it's remarkable he lasted that long.

Loved the story from Ozzy's book, Lemmy was in Don Arden's library, Arden was trying to get Sharon (Osbourne) to get rid of him 'who the f*ck is this caveman in my library' her response was 'relax it's just Lemmy, he's in the band supporting Ozzy' his response was 'Well, for Christ sake at least get him a deckchair and put him out by the pool, he looks like the undead' then Lemmy walks into the room looks around and says 'F*ck me, Ozzy if I look half as bad as you then I'm going back to bed, right now' :pac:

This is a great song that has somehow remained unreleased, it goes a bit weird towards the end.

I know some of the old Bruxelles crowd will be crying into their whiskys tonight.

RIP Lemmy, RIP Flanders bar.

Had the privilege of seeing Motorhead in Zaragoza, Spain in June 2009, I remember the day, it was the day after Micheal Jackson died as it was all over the news the whole weekend I was gone.

Seen a few pictures and performances of him of late, not at all surprised, he had been looking increasingly very ill and gaunt for the last 2 years. Apparently he was only diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer on Stephen's Day just gone and it got him in just 2 days after he found out. I thought that he had cancer or something for the last while but articles just said he had diabetes and some heart problems and he had a pacemaker fitted.

He's some trooper for doing shows up until the end really. Truly loved what he did.

Just saw Metallica wrote a lovely message about him on Facebook, was expecting it as they are very fond of Lemmy and he was fond of them also and did they odd one off performance together and covered each other's songs. I'd imagine they are devastated over it, they seemed good pals.

Menas

Ah no. Terrible news.
My trips to LA have always included a few nights in the Rainbow hoping he would turn up.

Legend, RIP.

One I first ticked off the list when I seen Motorhead play the 'Kings of Rock' gig in Dalymount Park, Dublin 28th Aug 1983.

I rarely grieve for celebrity status, 'nor am I shocked when a 70 year old man dies suddenly ~ but to me Lemmy was never aging.

The mold was certainly broken with Lemmy.

RIP you beautiful bastard.

And not wishing to start a debate on the subject, but I much preferred Motorhead cover 'Enter Sandman' than Metallica :cool:
