Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, 70

Saw Motorhead live a few times over the years. They always sucked, terribly. But the guy was a beloved icon nonetheless.

Lemmy Kilmister, 70
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

70 was probably a good run, considering the legendary rock and roll lifestyle he maintained.

I'm probably a Hawkwind fan more than a Motorhead fan so this is my Lemmy classic

It's good to see they made up in recent years to do that "reunion" so many have done, before the members start dying.

I heard this on the radio...has had health issues, then an aggressive cancer diagnosis and like poof he's gone.  But yeah by all accounts he was R&R to the end, so you have to respect a guy going out the way they want.  Not saying I'd advocate his path, but freedom isn't really freedom unless you can do what you want.  Can't say I was a big Motorhead fan, but if Ace of Spades came on the radio, yeah of course I'd crank up the volume.  I thought I heard someone say they also lost their drummer last month too.
