How did MOTÖRHEAD’s Lemmy Kilmister die at 70-years of age?
CelebNMusic247.com has learned that after celebrating his birthday Ian Kilmister aka MOTÖRHEAD’s original classic member, Lemmy learned that he had been diagnosed with cancer but unfortunately he died just 2 days after learning about the “extremely aggressive cancer”. Lemmy only received the shock diagnosis on Boxing Day (December 26, 2015), the band said.
Lemmy didn’t get a chance to fight his illness after learning that he was battling cancer. A source revealed to us that Lemmy had been complaining of stomach pains in the days before his 70th birthday this year.
His band mates and surviving members of MOTÖRHEAD said in a statement:
“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 its 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.”
Motorhead – “Hawkwind”
His death comes little more than a month since that of the band’s first drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor. Lemmy himself led tributes to the 61-year-old rocker, who died on November 11.

Rock Legend, and friend of Lemmy’s, Ozzy Osbourne said in a statement:
“Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side.”
CelebNMusic247.com has this report via Babblemouth:
Lemmy dealt with some serious health issues recently, forcing the indulgent rock legend to scale back on alcohol and kick his cigarette habit. Though Lemmy had made some positive steps forward, he had been struggling with poor health in recent months, leading to MOTÖRHEAD’s touring schedule being disrupted.
The rock icon recently claimed that he was doing just fine and was people to stop asking about his health.
He told Classic Rock:
“I’m sick of the fucking, ‘Are you going to die?’ line of questioning. It’s getting really old, that question. I’m alright. I’m going out there and doing my best.
“I have good days and bad days but mostly I’ve been doing alright. The last tour of the States was very good.”
Lemmy, who turned 70 years old on December 24, told Classic Rock he had no intention of retiring.
He said:
“It’s when you get to 60 when everything starts to go pear-shaped. Everyone thinks that becoming an older guy is easy, but you never consider it fully. It comes as quite a shock. But the thing is, I don’t want to give in to it.”
Lemmy, who previously said that he didn’t expect to still be here at 30 weighing in that he “doesn’t do regrets.”
He said:
“Regrets are pointless. It’s too late for regrets. You’ve already done it, haven’t you? You’ve lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.”
“There are a couple of things I might have done differently, but nothing major; nothing that would have made that much of a difference.”
“I’m pretty happy with the way things have turned out. I like to think I’ve brought a lot of joy to a lot of people all over the world. I’m true to myself and I’m straight with people.”
Lemmy lived his life to the FULLEST and even said “Death is an inevitability, isn’t it? You become more aware of that when you get to my age. I don’t worry about it. I’m ready for it. When I go, I want to go doing what I do best. If I died tomorrow, I couldn’t complain. It’s been good.”
CelebNMusic247.com is deeply saddened by the news. Our condolences goes out to Lemmy’s family, friends, and MOTÖRHEAD fans!
Lemmy will truly be missed.
