Just days before the New Year, Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister passed away due to complications from his cancer diagnosis. At age 70, Lemmy was an inspiration to an entire genre in both music and behavior, pioneering the hard rock sound and the hard rock lifestyle.
Naturally, fans of Lemmy will want to share in the grieving process, and the band is offering up a live stream of their memorial service this Saturday, January 9th. Read the statement to fans below:
SATURDAY JANUARY 9th THE WORLD CELEBRATES LEMMY
On SATURDAY JANUARY 9th, the world will come together and celebrate the life of our friend, and legend, Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister.
Family and close friends will observe a service at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery, Hollywood, commencing at 3pm PST and ending at 4.30pm. With such limited space available on-site, we respectfully ask that you don’t attend the cemetery… but we want you ALL to be a part of this, so we are setting up a live feed of the service via the internet on Motörhead’s official You Tube channel.
So wherever you are, PLEASE get together and watch the service with fellow Motörheadbangers and friends. GO to your favorite bar, or your favorite club, make sure they have access to an internet connection and toast along with us.
Or simply invite your pals around and celebrate Lemm’s life at home.
Whatever your venue, and however you can, let’s be sure to gather globally on Saturday 9th and celebrate the life of our dear friend and irreplaceable icon.
