“That’s the way I like it baby/I don’t wanna live for ever”
Last week Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister sadly passed away at the age of 70, leaving a Jack Daniels-guzzling, axe-wielding void.

If you can’t make this weekend’s pilgrimage to LA’s Rainbow Bar, one of the star’s favourite hangouts on the city’s infamous Sunset Strip, don’t despair. Tune into a live stream of the memorial and head to The Star by Hackney Downs, where they are throwing their own London bash to commemorate the late, great Motorhead frontman (LA? London? Same same, right?).

So head down this Saturday for a night of rock ‘n’ roll hedonism and raise your Jack Daniels and Coke (Lemmy’s drink of choice, although he did recently swap it for vodka and orange juice, as a ‘healthy’ alternative) to the hellraiser, himself.

“Death is an inevitability, isn’t it? You become more aware of that when you get to my age. I don’t worry about it. I’m ready for it. When I go, I want to go doing what I do best. If I died tomorrow, I couldn’t complain. It’s been good.” Lemmy once claimed, and, uncompromising as always, stayed true to his word.

Waiting around to die: born to raise hell takes place at The Star by Hackney Downs, E5 8NN on Saturday 9th.
