On January 22nd at the NAMM 2016 music industry trade fair in Anaheim, CA, Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee spoke with Junkman for Vintage Rock, offering his thoughts on frontman Lemmy who passed away at age 70 on December 28th, 2015. Check out the interview below.
According to the death certificate obtained by TMZ, Motörhead legend Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister died from prostate cancer and congestive heart failure.
VR Live recently released a rare VR/360º studio video clip of Lemmy and producer Dann Saxton in the studio recording “Thunder & Lightning”, from Motörhead’s latest album Bad Magic.
In addition, there is a brief video interview (likely his last) from May by VR Live partner Playboy Video and Lemmy was asked: What would you tell your 20-year-old self about life?
“I don't know about life,” Lemmy responded. “Nobody does. We know about death (laughs). But life is more complicated. And certain things jump out at you just when you take a forward confident step and it’ll blow your fucking candle out. That's it, it's really weird. I got sick last year and I had already had diabetes, then I got fucking kidney failure and all kinds of shit. I was in the hospital twice. I never planned for this shit you know. The thing about death is that it's so final really. As far as we know … nobody has ever come back and told us about it.”
