Lemmy Kilmister has taken up full-time residence at one of his favourite places to relax and socialize – Stringfellows Gentleman’s Club in London. It is a place which holds many Lemmy memories for friends and associates, as it became one of his favourite places to go after it opened in 1980.
A celebration took place last night, and among Lemmy’s friends and associates was Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell, who was on hand to say a few words and place his dear friend’s ashes behind the bar. Some video and photos from the event can be found below.
Owned by Peter Stringfellow – who in the 1960s booked some of the era’s biggest acts such as The Beatles, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and others – Stringfellows became a hot spot for celebrities and rock stars alike. It was quickly an established fact among those who knew him that if Lemmy was in London, odds were good that you would find him at Stringfellows.
Lemmy and Peter Stringfellow subsequently developed a good friendship with both appreciating the rock’n’roll lifestyle as well as enjoying a great environment in which to relax. Even after moving to West Hollywood, every year when the band ended their European tour dates (usually in December), Lemmy would be sure to spend time at Stringfellows before flying back home.
“Stringfellows always held a special place in Lemmy’s heart. He loved the rock’n’roll spirit Peter brought to the club, he loved the relaxed environment, and he certainly loved the view. I know he’s relieved he can get back to enjoying one of his favorite places on the planet!,” said Motörhead’s manager Todd Singerman.
It is therefore fitting that Lemmy is back at the world famous club permanently, the latest in a series of Lemmy Forever ceremonies which further immortalize Lemmy in places which were special to him. Another miniature replica of his custom urn containing a portion of his ashes is placed at the club, ensuring Lemmy can permanently hold court at one of his beloved places.
