Memorial services for iconic MOTÖRHEAD frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister have been scheduled for Saturday, January 9th from 2pm to 2am at the Rainbow Bar And Grill in West Hollywood, CA.
Due to the overwhelming and supportive response to Lemmy's memorial, the Rainbow has announced that it will now use the entire Sunset Strip to compensate for overflow. The Rainbow will close from 5pm until 9pm for a private service. However, The Roxy Theatre and Whisky A Go Go will remain open to accommodate those looking to show their respects during this time.
The official Facebook page of MOTÖRHEAD posted the following announcement:
"Family and close friends will observe a service at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery, Hollywood, commencing at 3pm PST and ending at 4.30pm. With such limited space available on-site, we respectfully ask that you don’t attend the cemetery... but we want you ALL to be a part of this, so we are setting up a live feed of the service via the internet on MOTÖRHEAD’s official Youtube channel (stay tuned for specific link details before the service).
"So wherever you are, PLEASE get together and watch the service with fellow MOTÖRHEAD-bangers and friends. GO to your favorite bar, or your favorite club, make sure they have access to an internet connection and toast along with us. Or simply invite your pals around and celebrate Lemm’s life at home."
