Whilst filming my next music video in Stoke-on-Trent, I visited Burslem to see the statue to Lemmy.
Ian Fraser Kilmister, who is better known as Lemmy, was the founder, lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the metal band Motorhead. He was born on 24th December 1945 in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
A 2.25m bronze-cast statue of Lemmy is on a plinth in Market Place, Burslem. It commemorates 10 years since the rocker’s death and 50 years since the band was formed. I noticed that many fans had left their tributes at the door of the statue especially many now empty bottles of Jack Daniels.
