Bumped into a metalhead the day after Motörhead and he said Lemmy will be gone by the end of the year, he's really unwell..

Obv just a fans point of view but could have some truth in it if he's really struggling..

Lived a great life

[FloorFiller]

man the video of him stopping the gig is really heartbreaking. he looks and sounds really ill. if he keeps this up he's gonna die on stage. i hope he decides to stop before that happens

R.I.P. Lemmy.

Lemmy has passed away, aged 70.

Horrific stuff, really unexpected. RIP.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Gives you the shivers when someone is dead only months after you were stood within metres of them. RIP fella.

I'm really really not trying to be a dick here but he had a barrage of health problems, as documented throughout this thread so 'unexpected' may not be the correct descriptor. He did brilliantly to tour through it for two years and was still at it this month. Thankfully he returned from tour though and spent his 70th and Christmas at home with his family, as said here in this message.

Nah I understand, of course he was ill, and has been for a while. As Zac says though, I think it's a shock for someone to die having been performing not that long ago.

Unexpected in the sense that he was still performing recently, rather than 'it came out of nowhere' etc.

 

EDIT: Having read the September posts in this thread, maybe he was even struggling to perform come the end. Sad nonetheless.

Was still planning to continue touring as well.

Had a UK tour in Jan planned and was due to play Download in June

[MrZigster]

A true trooper. R.I.P.

It's 3:00am and I really want to play Ace of Spades neighbour annoyingly loud right now.

I didn't think he could die.

Very very sad. Glad I got opportunity to see him. Without Foo Fighters cancelling I never would have seen him as it clashed. 

RIP Lemmy

Eh? Both scheduled to play Pyramid. Where's the clash?

[Hugh Jass]

It was pretty obvious to everyone who saw Motorhead last year that he wasn't in the best of health. He looked pretty frail and his voice had gone. Still, to last as long as he did with that lifestyle is pretty remarkable, and more so to keep performing up until the end.

RIP you mad fucker.

the timings got messed up after Foos pulled out and so they probably moved out of the way of a clash with an act on another stage (or right in to the way of one, which unfortunately is what happened with me and i was only able to catch the first twenty or so minutes)

very sad news, although what with the past two years he's had, not unexpected. they just don't make em like him anymore!

I know, I was being facicious - because if you're having Phil Taylor on drums, it's got to be Eddie on guitar.

That is, after all, the classic line-up, and the line-up that wrote the 'hits'.

 

[eFestivals]

PS: I met and chatted with Lemmy and Eddie years ago. Phil would have been there too, but he was at home nursing his broken neck.

 

[willutalk]

Cor, very saddening news this is.

I'm very glad that Glastonbury managed to clinch Motörhead just so soon before the inevitable. To be there was special. To also see them at Download was a huge treat.

I feel that this has left a profound hole in the music industry.

Though, of course, Eddie isn't dead, which I think is the point of Penguin's post.

Then again, Lemmy was an atheist so he's not going to be playing anywhere. Up, down or in the ether.

[parsonjack]

Just read that Lemmy once said that Motorhead played so loud that 'if we moved in next door your lawn would die'

Very few left like him.  A great gent a huge loss.

Sad day.

[PapaBentley]

I remember a watching a documentary, where it said that Louie Louie, was reviewed as the worst song ever written and the band was the worst band ever at that point.

Its fair to say a music icon has been lost.
