SNG

No his real name is Ian Fraser Kilmister but around the time of the Rocking Vicars his step father was a huge support to him and his mother. Gave him money, supported the family, bought him some amps etc. It might even have been that he felt the guy was more supportive than his own father ever was, so he changed his surname name to Willis as a sign of acceptance. It didn't last long though, because by about 1970 he gave up 6 strings, moved to 4, joined Hawkwind and became known as Lemmy.
