In an interview with Sweden’s Expressen, drummer Mickey Dee confirmed Lemmy’s death marked the end of Motörhead. “Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead. We won’t be doing any more tours or anything. And there won’t be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone.”


So that was it? Do you really think they will stop doing what they love?

Lemmy was Motorhead, others have come and gone over the years, but Lemmy was the only constant and founder member.

I've no doubt Phil and Mikkey will play together again at some time as a tribute to Lemmy, but Motorhead as a touring band are most definitely over.

Seen them over 20 times over the years, and had tickets for both Hammersmith shows later this month and still can't quite believe he has gone, but got loads of great memories of seeing them live.

Of course it has. Lemmy WAS Motorhead. I don't think Queen should have continued on without Freddy Mercury either, but at least you can make more of an argument there in terms of Brian May's contribution to the band, but Motorhead without Lemmy just isn't Motorhead anymore.

I am sure the remaining musicians will continue to pursue their art, however.
