Motorhead summer tour canceled; Lemmy medical issues

Post by dubkitty »

The Manchester Guardian wrote:Motörhead have cancelled the remainder of their European tour while Lemmy Kilmister reportedly recovers from a hematoma. "Sometimes you can't do anything else than following doctor's orders," Kilmister said in a statement, "but be sure we will be back and kick everybody's ass."

After calling off three gigs last month, Motörhead have now nixed the rest of their summer festival dates, including concerts scheduled in Germany, France and Russia. "Things are going in the right direction with Lemmy, but the doctors in Berlin recommend that he rests for a few more weeks," the band's drummer, Mikkey Dee, told GT.se (via Anti Music). "We're not cancelling because of some sniffles ... This is something we've put a lot of thought into."

In their statement, the metal band remained vague about Kilmister's condition. "Earlier this spring Lemmy had some medical maintenance for the long-term good," they wrote. "He has since been advised that he should immediately take some more time to rest." Last month, Classic Rock magazine alleged that Kilmister had been implanted with a defibrillator due to ongoing cardiac issues. An Italian concert promoter later revealed that the 67-year-old was suffering from "a severe hematoma".

Saw that, was severely bummed out. If anyone can come back swinging from this, Lemmy can!

Still, I'm glad I finally had the chance to see them play a few years back. Here's hoping the chance comes around again.
