Motörhead’s Lemmy Immortalized… Yet Again
Motörhead frontman Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister will take up full-time residence at one of his favorite haunts to relax and socialize — Stringfellows gentlemen’s club in London.
On December 18th there will be a miniature replica of his custom urn containing a portion of his ashes, which will be installed at the club, ensuring Lemmy can permanently hold court at one of his beloved places. Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell will be in attendance to say a few words and place Lemmy’s ashes there.
Owner Peter Stringfellow and Lemmy go back a long time… to say the least.
“When he was in London, Lemmy never missed a night out at Stringfellows. He was a true friend of the club,” said Sadat Banda, operations director for Stringfellows.
Lemmy died in 2015, of cancer, at age 70. A portion of his ashes have been installed at the Rainbow Bar & Grill, a favored establishment in Hollywood, and at Bloodstock with the festival commissioning a bust of Lemmy to incorporate his ashes. The U.K. festival is said to have been a special place for Lemmy and Motörhead. When the annual festival concludes, the bust is moved to Nottingham’s Rock City venue.
