Although with his lifestyle choices he certainly did well getting to 70, Lemmy was still an iconic performer whose presence was respected in the metal scene and will be missed. It's all about the game and how you play it; Lemmy certainly played the game pretty damn well.
RIP dude
News of his death was first reported by radio and TV host Eddie Trunk, who was a longtime friend of Lemmy. Several others have since confirmed the news, including Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote on Twitter, “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.”
Motörhead have yet to formally confirm the news, though Trunk added that an official statement will be released tomorrow.
The cause of Lemmy’s death is unknown, though he had been suffering from a number of well-publicized health issues, including hematoma. In 2013, he was fitted with an implantable defibrillator to correct an irregular heartbeat.
