The ashes of the late Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead) will soon be enshrined at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. The ceremony will be held on August 2 and it will be lead by surviving Motörhead members Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee.
Organizer Thomas Jensen commented:
“Lemmy coming back to Wacken is an enormous honor for us — words can hardly express how enormous. We will create a place of remembrance for him that does justice to his significance for an entire genre and beyond.”
Co-organizer Holger Hübner continued:
“There has always been a special connection between Motörhead and Wacken Open Air; hardly any band has played here more often. The fact that his journey also ends here will forever hold a special meaning.”
Motörhead manager Todd Singerman added:
“Wacken was one of Lemmy’s dearest homes and we’re delighted he has a place here forever. He was a man of the people, and as such, he ‘lived’ in many places worldwide. It’s our aim to allow him to rest permanently in all his ‘homes’ globally, and allow his fans worldwide to have a place close to them where they can both pay respects and celebrate his enormous continuing legacy and influence.”
