LEMMY funeral to be webcast

06 January 2016

MOTORHEAD ask fans to gather with friends in favourite bars on Saturday.

LEMMY’s funeral will be webcast live on Saturday, so that fans all over the world can pay their respects as the MOTORHEAD icon is laid to rest.

The ceremony takes place at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood from 3pm to 4.30pm local time (11pm-12.30am UK time). It will be streamed via the band’s YouTube channel.

A 12-hour memorial will be already be underway on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, after plans to hold it solely in the Rainbow Bar And Grill had to be changed to accommodate numbers.

MOTORHEAD say: “Wherever you are, please get together and watch the service with fellow Motorheadbangers and friends. Go to your favourite bar or club, make sure they have access to an internet connection, and toast along with us.

“Or, simply invite your pals around and celebrate Lemm’s life at home. Whatever your venue, and however you can, let’s be sure to gather globally on Saturday, January 9, and celebrate the life of our dear friend and irreplaceable icon.”

Fans who would like to send flowers are asked to contact Karen Brando at Flowers By Michael, or to make a charitable donation to the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund in Lemmy’s name.
