Cheers to Lemmy Kilmister, the Late Motörhead Frontman
The snarling, singular Lemmy Kilmister, the frontman of the band Motörhead and former Hawkwind member who died in late December after a battle with an aggressive form of cancer, is being laid to rest Saturday at the Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Via their Rolling Stone.
Lemmy, who died a few days after his 70th birthday, was known for his free-wheeling panache as a frontman, his virtuosity at throttling bass and especially for his appreciation of a good party. The mutton-chopped maestro was said to be a vivacious character, and the outpourings of grief have rolled in from former friends and collaborators, including Ozzy Osbourne and Kiss’s Paul Stanley.
“Have a drink or few. Share stories,” the band wrote in a statement upon Lemmy’s death. “Celebrate the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself. HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT."
