September 2, 2016, 8 years ago
Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister, bassist and vocalist of Motörhead, passed away on December 28th, 2015. A statue in his honour was recently unveiled to the public at Lemmy’s famous hangout in West Hollywood, The Rainbow Bar & Grill. A half-hour video report on the occasion courtesy of Reality Check TV is available below.
LA-based artist and friend of The Rainbow and the Sunset Strip, Travis Moore was selected to create a realistic depiction of Lemmy. The result is a life-size cast bronze statue that stands at just over six feet tall, now permanently housed at The Rainbow Bar & Grill in a special shrine.
Travis initially sculpted the likeness as an 18-inch maquette that was then be transferred to a life-size sculpture, moulded in wax and ultimately poured and cast in bronze.
Just unveiled. The #Lemmy statue at The Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood, CA!
