Lemmy Kilmister
Ian Fraser Kilmister (24 December 1945 – 28 December 2015),
better known as 'Lemmy', was an English musician, singer, and songwriter
who founded and fronted the rock band Motörhead.
His music was one of the foundations of the heavy metal genre.
He was known for his appearance (including his friendly mutton chops),
his distinctive gravelly voice and distinctive bass playing style.
Alongside his music career, he also had many minor roles in film and television.
Lemmy was born in Stoke-on-Trent and grew up in North Wales.
He was influenced by rock and roll and the early Beatles,
which led to him playing in several rock groups in the 1960s,
including the Rockin' Vickers.
He worked as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and the Nice,
before joining the space rock band Hawkwind in 1971,
singing lead on their hit "Silver Machine".
After being fired from Hawkwind, he founded Motörhead
as lead singer, bassist, songwriter and frontman.
Lemmy continued to record and tour regularly with Motörhead
until his death (aged 70) in December 2015 in Los Angeles,
where he had lived since 1990.
Aside from his musical activities,
Lemmy was well known for his hard-living lifestyle,
chain smoking, and regular consumption of alcohol and amphetamines.
He was also noted for his collection of Nazi memorabilia
and use of Nazi symbolism,
although he said he did not support Nazi ideals
and was a libertarian or anarchist.
Lemmy was born in England on Christmas Eve.
When he was three months old, his father (died 2011),
an ex-Royal Air Force chaplain and concert pianist,
separated from his mother. .
The family moved to a farm in the Welsh town of Benllech, Anglesey,
with Lemmy later commenting that
"funnily enough, being the only English kid among 700 Welsh ones
didn't make for the happiest time,
but it was interesting from an anthropological point of view".
