Was für ein Schock: Nur wenige Tage, nachdem er an Heiligabend seinen Geburtstag gefeiert hat, ist MOTÖRHEAD-Sänger Lemmy Kilmister im Alter von 70 Jahren gestorben. Laut Bandmitteilung via Facebook hatte Lemmy mit einer schweren Krebserkrankung zu kämpfen, von der er selbst erst am 26.12. erfahren hatte. Wir trauern mit seiner Familie und seinen Bandkollegen. Rest in peace, Lemmy!
Die offizielle Facebook-Meldung der Band lautet:
"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.
