Rock legend Lemmy Kilmister's ashes are set to make a permanent return to one of his favorite London haunts next month, as a portion will be placed at Stringfellow's nightclub in Covent Garden.
The late Motörhead frontman, who passed away in 2015 at age 70, was a regular patron at the establishment. The club held special meaning for Lemmy, even hosting Motörhead's 35th anniversary celebration in 2010.
On December 18, a ceremony attended by Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell will see Lemmy's ashes placed in a specially designed urn at Stringfellow's. The vessel is a miniature version of the one at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood and will be permanently displayed for fans to visit.
Todd Singerman, Motörhead's manager, told The Sun that Stringfellow's was always close to Lemmy's heart. "He loved the relaxed environment — and he certainly loved the view," Singerman noted.
This placement continues the unique journey of Lemmy's remains since his death. Following his wishes, portions of his ashes were sealed in bullets and given to close friends and family. Some were scattered at Germany's Wacken Open Air Festival, where Motörhead frequently performed.
Former MTV Headbangers Ball host Riki Rachtman received one of these golden bullets, while crew members Eddie Rocha and Emma Cederblad used their portions in memorial tattoos featuring Lemmy's portrait and the band's iconic spade emblem.
The permanent display at Stringfellow's adds another chapter to the remarkable legacy of one of rock's most distinctive personalities, allowing fans to pay their respects in a setting that truly captures Lemmy's spirit.
