From the Motorhead Facebook page

'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.'

I'm gutted by the news, its so sad, i have been a motorhead fan since 1979 and a hawkwind fan for even longer. I saw motorhead play at glastonbury this year and thought Lemmy wasn't himself, just had that feeling that something was wrong. I wish i had been wrong. He was a lovely guy, i'm devastated that he has gone. Rip.

Although this very aggressive cancer took his life very quickly he has been struggling with health problems for quite a while so hate to think how weak his body had become. It's amazing he made it this far

Great words to describe him. Have my own motorhead tattoo on my chest with what he has on his arm. Inspired by the gravely voiced legend at a young age.

" I saw motorhead play at glastonbury this year and thought Lemmy wasn't himself, just had that feeling that something was wrong."

Aye, the fact he was still singing Ace of Spades when the rest of the band (including him) was playing Overkill was a bit of a giveaway. You could see his confusion that head and hands weren't co-ordinated, it was painful to see.

RIP Lemmy

Motorhead were the first band I ever saw in about 1980, 81ish in Chester ABC... I was even drinking with the band in the Queens Head across the road but didn't realise!

From that night on I was totally hooked by 'Rock'....

Thanks Lemmy, You made so many people happy including myself.

Lem used to drink in there a lot and watch the bands before he moved to LA, Motorhead played there in 83 too for the (at the time)) princely sum of £5! Some nice tributes on the news though. But yes a lot of the old guard are dying, very sad indeed

. That said, Lemmy didn't linger, which he'd have hated

Absolutely gutted. Lemmy wasn't just a celebrity, he was a bona fide rock legend, of the kind they just don't make any more. I had plans to see Motörhead play Manchester in 2016, too. Been playing their latest album on 11 today, by way of tribute.

Motorhead at Brixton Academy in 1998 was my second ever gig. It was on a Saturday night. My ears finally stopped ringing about Monday lunchtime. Saw them for the ninth time at Wembley Arena last year, knowing it'd probably be for the last time. It was a sad thought then and it's even sadder now.
