Lemmy statue gets underway

The Motorhead front man was a regular at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Los Angeles and owners of the venue celebrated his life by holding a memorial event in January, weeks after his death in December, reported Contactmusic. Lemmy is set to be immortalized as a life-size bronze statue, in the patio area near the bar, by sculptor Travis Moore, who has waived his usual fee.

A crowd funding page was created on Youcaring.com to raise money for the materials and has since raised more than 13,800 pound. Online pictures show Moore creating a clay miniature model which will form the basis of the life-sized statue. He aims to have the project finished by May this year.
Lemmy died days after his 70th birthday following a battle with an aggressive form of cancer.
