The ashes of the late Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister are being enshrined at one of his favorite Sunset Strip haunts: the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood.
A ceremony is set for April 19th at 9 p.m. PT, with the Rainbow also inviting fans and attendees to “raise a very unique toast to Lemmy and Motörhead with the unveiling of brand new Motörhead Whiskey” via a Facebook post.
When he wasn’t on tour, Lemmy was a daily regular at the Rainbow and could often be found playing the video poker machine at the bar. The Rainbow would eventually dedicate its patio to the Motörhead leader, re-naming it “Lemmy’s Lounge.” A life-size bronze statue of Lemmy also resides on the patio, and in turn, the neighboring Roxy had a mural of him painted on the wall opposite the patio and statue.
The enshrinement is the latest gesture celebrating the life of the beloved rocker. We recently reported on a statue being erected in his hometown of Burslem in the UK. Meanwhile, his ashes are also enshrined in a giant Lemmy sculpture that looms over the Hellfest grounds in Clisson, France.
In other Motörhead news, the band’s camp released an eight-disc CD box set, The Löst Tapes, in February, collecting all five volumes of the ongoing live-recording series.
As for the new Motörhead whiskey, fans can find more information via the Motörhead Spirits website.
