    I just saw Motorhead in Indy a few months ago. They had cancelled a few shows due to Lemmy's health so we weren't sure they were going to do the show but they did.

    Lemmy looked pretty fragile but they still rocked it.

    RIP

    A true icon that built a bridge from punk to rock and was respected by both. This man WAS rock n' roll. I feel like music has lost one of the last "true to himself" badasses that the industry has left. RIP Lemmy. You will be missed but not forgotten. I will be drinking whiskey tonight in honor of the ULTIMATE BADASS that is LEMMY!

    I am utterly devastated by his passing. I finally got tickets to a show in Dallas back in September that he had to cancel due to his health. It was a crushing blow. Amazingly, he finished the tour. The guy was one tough hombre. The world won't be the same. May he rest in peace.

    He was even more successful as a ghost writer for others than his own music career..."Mama I`m Comin Home" is a Lemmy song. RIP

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
