Lemmy Milk Commercial Released Posthumously

(Classic Rock) The makers of a milk advert filmed by Lemmy weeks before he died have released the footage as a tribute to the Motorhead icon. It was under production when he passed away aged 70 on December 28, two days after being told he had an aggressive form of cancer.

In the promo for Finnish dairy Valio, created by ad agency Hasan & Partners, Lemmy is seen leaving a shop while walking with a stick. He glares at the camera and says: "I have never drunk milk. And never will." Then he adds: "You a**hole!" turns away and grins.

Agency boss Jussi Lindholm tells the Guardian: "We were in the middle of post-production when the news about Lemmy broke. We discussed not airing the ad, but we had footage that was not part of the original script which crystallized Lemmy's spirit, so we agreed to change it and make a tribute.

"We are profoundly grateful to have worked with him, and that Lemmy's management feel good about the result." Watch the commercial here.
