A statue of the late Lemmy Kilmister is set to be unveiled during a ceremony in the Motörhead legend’s hometown of Burslem, which is part of the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England.

As previously reported, plans for the 2.25-meter bronze sculpture were approved in February 2024. The statue was constructed by local sculptor Andy Edwards out of Staffordshire clay.

The ceremony will commence in the Burslem town center at approximately 4 p.m. on May 9th. Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell will be in attendance to place Lemmy’s ashes in the statue with accompaniment from a biker’s corteo, and friends and fans are invited to come early and enjoy pre-ceremonial beverages at various adjacent hostelries including Old Post Office bar and Ale House, as well as the the Market Place Café.

Additional ceremonial festivities include a 21-rev salute, a viewing of rarely seen Lemmy photographs via The Bare Walls...
