Lemmy Kilmister, the iconic lead singer of Motorhead, passed away nearly nine years ago, yet his legacy continues to make headlines.
This August, a procession of 55 Harley Davidson motorcycles transported a bust containing a portion of his ashes to Rock City in Nottingham, where it is currently displayed. Furthermore, the renowned London strip club “Stringfellows,” established by the late Peter Stringfellow in 1980, is set to serve as the final resting place for another portion of the rock legend’s ashes, as reported by Deadline.
On December 18, his ashes will be placed in an urn designed to resemble Lemmy’s distinctive cowboy hat at the club, during a ceremony that will be attended by Motorhead’s guitarist Phil Campbell.
In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Times, Lemmy shared his favorite spot to relax when he wasn’t on tour.
“At ‘Stringfellows’ in London. It’s a top-notch strip club. You always feel welcome there. I’ve known the owner, Piter, since 1964,” he remarked.
“Stringfellows held a unique significance for Lemmy. He cherished the rock ‘n’ roll vibe that Piter infused into the club, enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, and certainly appreciated the view. He must be thrilled to return to one of his beloved locations on this planet,” noted Motorhead’s manager, Tod Singerman.
Lemmy’s ashes have also been scattered at the Wacken Open Air metal festival in Germany, and part of them was placed in the “Rainbow Bar” in Los Angeles this year. Additionally, the ashes displayed at Rock City will be showcased annually at the nearby Bloodstock Festival.
