Lemmy Kilmister the iconic leader of Motörhead, passed away nearly nine years ago, yet his legacy continues to dominate headlines.
In August this year, a procession of 55 Harley Davidson motorcycles transported a bust containing some of his ashes to Rock City in Nottingham, where it is currently displayed. In a new development, the famed London strip club “Stringfellows,” established by the late Peter Stringfellow in 1980, will become the final resting place for another part of the legendary rock star’s ashes, as reported by Deadline.
On December 18, the ashes will find their permanent home at the club, where they will be housed in an urn designed to resemble Lemmy’s iconic cowboy hat. The occasion will be celebrated with a ceremony featuring a guest appearance from Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell.
In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Times, Lemmy was asked where he preferred to unwind when not on tour.
“At ‘Stringfellows’ in London. It’s an elite strip club. You’re always welcomed with open arms there. I’ve known the owner, Piter, since 1964,” he shared during the interview.
“Stringfellows held a unique significance for Lemmy. He adored the rock ‘n’ roll vibe that Piter inspired in the club, appreciated the relaxed ambiance, and certainly enjoyed the view. I know he would be pleased to return to one of his favorite spots on Earth,” stated Motorhead’s manager, Tod Singerman.
Lemmy’s ashes were also scattered at the Wacken Open Air metal festival in Germany, and this year, part of them was placed in the “Rainbow Bar” in Los Angeles. Additionally, the ashes on display at Rock City will be showcased annually at the adjacent Bloodstock Festival.
