Music Banter - The Rest in Peace Thread (RIP)

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

He learned he had cancer two days ago? Then he died of said cancer? That's weird.

Although I knew this day was coming that doesn't make it any easier, Lemmy has been one of my biggest inspirations since I was a kid and got into this music. Blasting some old Motorhead now.

I'm sure we all assume that it was liver failure. It's what Lemmy would have wanted.
