Lemmy Is Alive

Motorhead have issued an update on frontman Lemmy Kilmister's health.

The band have recently been forced to cancel three tour dates after Lemmy suffered a hematoma. The size, scale or location of the frontman's hematoma – where blood collects outside of a blood vessel - is not known, but the news of the medical problem follows reports that the frontman has also recently been fitted with a defibrillator because of heart problems.

With rumors circulating suggesting the band's future may be in doubt, Motorhead have released a statement updating fans on Lemmy's health.

The statement read: "We are happy to announce that despite rumors to the contrary, Lemmy is alive, breathing, talking, fucking, drinking, eating, reading and will be back to playing shows shortly...."
