LEMMY R.I.P. 1945-2015
Motorhead frontman Lemmy has died on December 28, 2015 in Los Angeles, two days after learning he had cancer, the British band has announced. He was 70. Born Ian Fraser Kilmister, Lemmy formed Motorhead in 1975 and recorded 22 albums, including Ace of Spades, as he became one of music’s most recognisable voices and faces. The band said on its Facebook page: “Our mighty, noble friend Lemmy has passed away after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer.” His death came just weeks after former Motorhead drummer Phil Taylor died of liver failure on November 11, 2015. Taylor was 61.
Other sad news include the death of Steve Wright of the Australian group, the Easybeats, on December 27, 2015. Wright was 68. He was also widely considered as Australia’s first international rock star and his hits included Friday On My Mind and Evie. Wright had fallen ill on Boxing Day and was taken to Moruya Hospital in New South Wales.
