In addition to cancer, Lemmy had been suffering from a number of other well-publicized health issues, including hematoma. In 2013, he was fitted with an implantable defibrillator to correct an irregular heartbeat. His health issues had caused the cancelation of multiple Motörhead performances in recent years, though Lemmy remained an active force up until the time of his death.

Aw heck. Not making light at all, b/c I love most of their music, but "extremely aggressive" is nearly an understatement. I've never heard of any cancer killing someone in just three days after being diagnosed. I guess his other health problems masked the severity and other pains disguised the pain from the killing cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe news must have been the straw that broke the camel's back :(
DeleteAin't so bad, ain't so bad, could've been a loser
ReplyDeleteAin't so bad, ain't so bad, rather be a boozer
Standing at the crossroads, see where the wind blows
Following the white line, following my nose
You've been living on a razor's edge, soon as you learned to shave
Make sure you live, be a long time dead
Cradle To The Grave........R.I.P.
He lasted a lot longer than some folk expected :)
