Lemmy Statue Unveiled At Rainbow Bar And Grill

(Classic Rock) Artist Travis Moore has unveiled his statue to late Motorhead icon Lemmy at Hollywood's Rainbow Bar And Grill - the singer and bassist's favorite haunt.

The life-size bronze sculpture was commissioned after fans and friends contributed to a fundraising campaign following Lemmy's death in December.

Motorhead's long-time manager Todd Singerman and Lemmy's girlfriend Cheryl Keuleman attended the unveiling along with a number of rock and metal fans, who crammed into the venue on the Sunset Strip to see the 6ft statue for the first time.

Singerman tells the Press Association: "I look at him no differently than Johnny Cash, the Beatles and so on. He was real. He didn't bullsh*t. The way he went on stage was the way he was at home. Go find that today."

Speaking of the decision to locate the sculpture at the venue, Keuleman says: "The Rainbow was Lemmy's home." Read more and see a photo of the statue here.
