A new statue immortalizing late Motörhead leader, Lemmy Kilmister, was unveiled during the “Lemmy Forever” ceremony in Burslem, Stoke-On-Trent, England on Friday (May 9). Some video from the ceremony can be found below.
According to BBC, the sculptor who created the statue of Lemmy has praised the hundreds of fans who turned out for its unveiling, describing the crowd as a “sea of love”.
The 2.25m bronze-cast statue of the Motörhead frontman was uncovered in the singer’s hometown of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, during a ceremony on Friday.
The memorial, which stands on a plinth on Market Place, was designed by Andy Edwards to commemorate 10 years since the rocker’s death and 50 years since the band was formed. The local artist told BBC Radio Stoke the event had a “festival vibe” but was more intimate.
“It was just a sea of love. The atmosphere was great… everybody was lovely,” he said.
As well as guest speakers, including Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell, the ceremony also saw a procession of motorbikes arrive with a portion of Lemmy’s ashes, which were placed in the statue.
