E’ purtroppo scomparso all’età di settant’anni Ian Fraser Kilmister, conosciuto soprattutto come Lemmy Kilmister.
Il cantante bassista fondatore dei Motorhead e membro degli Hawkwind, aveva da poco scoperto di avere un male incurabile che in poco tempo l’ha portato via.
Nato in Inghilterra a Stoke-on-Trent, Lemmy aveva compiuto da pochi giorni, il 24 dicembre, il suo settantesimo compleanno. Si è spento a Los Angeles.
Kilmister era molto amato dal suo pubblico; lo scorso 28 agosto i Motorhead avevano pubblicato un ennesimo album in studio “Bad Magic” e lo si attendeva in Italia per due date live il prossimo febbraio.
Ci mancherai Lemmy!!!
Questo il comunicato della band:
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.
