Lemmy's medical condition
« on: June 26, 2013, 09:20:50 PM »
Gigs cancelled apparently because of a hematoma and the article says he recently got a defibrillator. I wonder if he's changed his lifestyle.

Get well, Lemmy!

I saw him interviewed a few years ago.  He said that the groupies were long gone.  That's part of his lifestyle which has significantly changed.

Those that live by the sword, or in this case, the Smirnoff Blue...

Hopefully there's a few more years of mayhem left in the old b*st*rd yet...!  ;)

 While being a Icon Lemmy is a damn nice guy. I wish him well and a speedy recovery.

In the interview I saw, he was humble and funny.  It all looked genuine, too.

Lemmy is one of the coolest cats, period. He doesn't have to act all baddass because he IS the defintion of baddass. He also genuinely cares for the fans. You don't see that much.

 Nicest celeb I ever met. Not a fair comment really, one of the nicest bass players I ever meet.

Motörhead official on faceboök:

We are happy to announce that despite rumors to the contrary, Lemmy is alive, breathing, talking, f**king, drinking, eating, reading and will be back to playing shows shortly. As reported, he did undergo a Motor-pit-stop for some medical maintenance this past spring, and the timing of his recent illness was unfortunate in that it came so soon after that. Lemmy & Co believe in the 'keep calm and carry on' way of thinking. Fans can anticipate more Motörhead live action this summer, as well as the most exciting Motörhead in years, Aftershock, this Fall.

Of course he wants to play. Hell, I'm off tonight and I'm goin' nuts.
