Motörhead frontman Lemmy's ashes are reportedly being relocated to Stringfellow's nightclub next month.
The late rocker passed away in 2015 at the age of 70 and previously had his remains shared among friends as well as scattered at some of his favorite spots.
Lemmy, whose full name was Ian Kilmister, was a regular at Stringfellow's in Covent Garden, a club that Peter Stringfellow opened in 1980, and even held the band’s 35th anniversary celebration there in November 2010.
Motorhead’s manager, Todd Singerman, shared that Stringfellow’s always “held a special place” in Lemmy’s heart and a replica of his urn will return to the spot on December 18.
He told The Sun: “He loved the relaxed environment — and he certainly loved the view. I know he’s relieved he can get back to enjoying one of his favourite places.”
Guitarist Phil Campbell will be present at the ceremony, where Lemmy’s ashes will be placed in an urn, which will be permanently displayed for fans to visit.
The urn is a miniature version of the one at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood.
In addition to the urn, some of Lemmy’s ashes were scattered at Germany’s Wacken Open Air Festival.
As part of the 'Lemmy Forever' tribute at the metal festival, his remains were spread across the grounds of the festival in Schleswig-Holstein, where Motörhead had performed many times.
Thomas Jensen, one of the festival's co-organiser, shared: “Lemmy coming back to Wacken is an enormous honour for us — words can hardly express how enormous.
“We will create a place of remembrance for him that does justice to his significance for an entire genre and beyond.
“There has always been a special connection between Motörhead and Wacken Open Air; hardly any band has played here more often. The fact that his journey also ends here will forever hold a special meaning.”
Before his passing, Lemmy requested that his ashes be placed inside bullets and distributed to his loved ones. In 2021, crew members Eddie Rocha and Emma Cederblad shared a video of them receiving this tribute to their late friend.
The video started with a caption that read: “Some of Lemmy’s ashes were shared with family and close friends.”
The footage then showed the bullet, with the ashes being used to create a portrait of Lemmy on Eddie’s leg and the iconic spade emblem of Motörhead on Emma's, both done in ink.
Riki Rachtman, the former host of MTV's Headbangers Ball, was the first to reveal the golden bullet he received, engraved with Lemmy’s name, earlier that year.
