About

Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister (24 December 1945 – 28 December 2015) was the founder, bassist, singer and songwriter of the English rock band Motörhead.

Persistent rumour has it, that Lemmy played an important role during The Sisters of Mercy's famous concert at the Royal Albert Hall,
he final gig of the First And Last And Always line-up.

Andrew had been performing with a couple of cracked ribs, and he had indeed decided to finish,
but Lemmy was in the dressing room to convince him that another encore was in order. After a short
discussion and a multilateral assessment of all the available pharmaceuticals, the band hit the stage again.

Some additional information on these events can be found in this thread @The Heartland Forums...

Over the decades, The Sisters of Mercy have covered various songs by Lemmy Kilmister and/or Motörhead during their concerts,
partly within medleys - like in 1997 - and partly as full tracks like Silver Machine or Capricorn in 2001 and 2008.

Beyond that, former Motörhead drummer Lucas Fox joined Andrew Eldritch for the Sisterhood single Giving Ground and the album Gift.
