Lemmy Kilmister at Bloodstock

Phil Campbell, former guitarist of MOTÖRHEAD, paid tribute to the band's iconic frontman Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister during an interview, recalling him as a 'true pioneer' who lived life on his own terms. Ahead of the Bloodstock Open Air Festival, which features a re-creation of Lemmy's dressing room and a special ceremony where a bust containing his ashes will be unveiled, Campbell emphasized Lemmy's integrity and the deep connection he had with fans. The bust and accompanying memorabilia, including personal items and previously unseen photos, aim to honor Lemmy's legacy. Lemmy, who passed away in December 2015, was recognized posthumously with a unique tribute as a prehistoric crocodile species was named after him. Campbell reflected on Lemmy's lasting impact and expressed pride in how he remained true to himself until the end. The festival, running from August 8-11, will allow fans to share their memories and pay their respects to the legendary musician.
