Just had news that Motorhead have had to cancel their Euro tour rescheduled dates, so that's two tours cancelled back-to-back...
Lemmy has diabetes and a pacemaker now fitted, has reputedly stopped smoking, and trying to cut the spirits and soft drinks out by substituting it with two bottles of wine a day...
Lemmy's diabetes issues... (http://loudwire.com/motorhead-cancel-2014-european-tour-lemmy-kilmister-diabetes/)
Manager on LK's pacemaker... (http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/455311/Motorhead-manager-concerned-for-Lemmy-s-health)
I heard the same. Not looking good.
Happens to the best of us.........................
I don't drink nearly as much as I did even a year ago - it's hard on ya.
What...? Cutting out...? I'm with you there... (just opened a 15yr Dalwhinnie... Slainte Mhath Mark... ;D)
Touring is rough on you, too, even if you're Lemmy.
Lemmy must also demonstrate the path of moderation in order to keep spreading the gospel of rock and roll. He really FEELS his role as "Godfather of Rock/Metal" and gives pieces of fatherly advice between songs during shows and has since the 90's. Give up to him; he's the real deal, and being real means that he is still as human as the rest of us, but he is also Lemmy.
Lemmy don't need no stinkin' kidneys.
... unless it's mixed with a bit of steak in a steamed pudding... ;D
I hope his health improves, but two bottles of wine a day is cutting back? Life catches up even to the best of us. One of the nicest "stars" I have ever meet. I wish him the best.

All that fine Pacific air and sun has finally baked your brain...! ;D

His manager talks about the sugar content of the wine but that sure isn't the only problem. Some people build up a huge tolerance to alcohol with little outward effect but two bottles a day is doing a number on his insides.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
Lemmy the porn star... ;D
I should make that my Facebook profile picture.
I had to look the guy up to figure out who he was. Never been a fan of Motorhead, so had no reference at all...hit YouTube and as far as I can tell, I've never heard anything they recorded. Don't think I missed much.
My friend and former roommate Rachael at Heavy Leather NYC has been making Lemmy's bass straps for years. She says he's really depressed about having to cancel the tour and not being able to go on the road and serve it up at will. I hope he gets a handle on it.

And I thought the likeness of Jesus only appeared on the Turin Shroud!!! To his credit, Lemmy is at least the son of a vicar.
As is Alice...
