MOTORHEAD Announce LEMMY Is "Alive, Breathing, Talking, Fucking, Drinking…"

We got a bit scared this last week when two seperate reports on legendary Motorhead bassist Lemmy Kilmister's health were posted. First, we learned he had a defibrillator installed to control the beat of his heart and then the band had to back out of shows because Lemmy had hematoma. Many of us were worried, but today the band released an official statement on their Facebook page declaring Lemmy is just fine:

We are happy to announce that despite rumors to the contrary, Lemmy is alive, breathing, talking, f**king, drinking, eating, reading and will be back to playing shows shortly. As reported, he did undergo a Motor-pit-stop for some medical maintenance this past spring, and the timing of his recent illness was unfortunate in that it came so soon after that. Lemmy & Co believe in the 'keep calm and carry on' way of thinking. Fans can anticipate more Motörhead live action this summer, as well as the most exciting Motörhead in years, Aftershock, this Fall.

While it's reassuring that the band is being so calm, it still does not bode well for the rock god. Lemmy is a self-admitted speed addict, and his entire life of partying is finally catching up to him.

The band pulled out of yet another show, tomorrow's With Full Force Fest due to Lemmy's hematoma scare, which means maybe he isn't back to playing just yet.

Either way, we're pulling for you Lemmy!
