[quote]On 28 December 2015, four days after his 70th birthday, Lemmy died at his home in Los Angeles, California, at 16:00 PST from an "extremely aggressive cancer." Motörhead announced his death on their official Facebook page later that day. According to the band, his cancer had only been diagnosed on 26 December, two days prior to his death.[/quote]
Lemmy was a musical legend and has been cited as a huge influence by numerous other bands, including Metallica.
Lemmy was known as the vocalist of Motörhead, a heavy metal band. I've listened to his music since I was very young. My dad got me into heavy metal from a young age. It was literally the only genre I would listen to. I will always remember the impact Lemmy had on my musical experience.
The heavy metal community will certainly miss Lemmy. He was one of the best.
