After revealing their intention and commissioning top bronze artist Andy Edwards to make it real, Motörhead’s management and the band’s legion of fans (with a little help from Stoke-On-Trent council) are about to make good on their aim to deliver a fitting and permanent memorial to Motörhead frontman, Lemmy Kilmister to his hometown.
Stoke-On-Trent is about to take possession of a new 8ft bronze statue of the Motörhead bassist and lead vocalist, which will be revealed in Burslem’s Market Place this Friday. The statue will also become the final resting place of a portion of Kilmister’s ashes, being placed within the statue’s plinth by Kilmister’s bandmate, guitarist Phil Campbell.
