    French metal festival Hellfest unveiled a huge metal statue created in memory of Lemmy Kilmister, the late lead singer of Motörhead, and God (well at least according to “Airheads”). Motörhead played the very first Hellfest in Clisson, France and were deeply connected to the event. On June 23rd, festival organizers will unveil a huge statue that will preside over the grounds, and contain some of Kilmister’s ashes.

    Our beloved Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister, founder of Motörhead, has had a portion of his ashes enshrined at this year’s Hellfest Festival in Clisson, France within a new, giant statue of the man

    French sculptor Caroline Brisset is responsible for the piece. Though she knew the size could be challenging, Brisset took on the project without hesitation. “I said yes because it was a great project,” she told Ouest-France. “And it was also quite a challenge to make such a big statue in such a short time.” 

    Brisset’s work will replace an older statue of the rock legend that has been on the grounds for 6 years. But sadly, the plaster is starting to crumble. Either way Mr. Kilmister will continue to watch over the event. It will also have a miniature replica of the custom urn that Lemmy’s ashes are in at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

    I was sad when I heard that Hellfest were talking down the awesome Lemmy statue and replacing it with a new one.

    While this isn’t the only Lemmy statue, it is by far the biggest. In August of 2016, the Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood put one in. The Rainbow Room was Lemmy’s favorite place to drink. The statue was purchased by fans who raised $23,000. The Rainbow Bar & Grill also renamed their patio to “Lemmy’s Lounge,” paying tribute to the rock icon.

    The dedication ceremony will follow a concert by the Scorpions. There will be a tribute video. Which will be followed by speeches from former bandmates Mikkey Dee (now in the Scorpions) and Phil Campbell.
