Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side. Posted by Ozzy Osbourne on Monday, 28 December 2015
My dear friend, Lemmy, passed away today. I’ve known him for 38 years. He will be so missed but he will never be forgotten.

Oh my. Lemmy got let in on the big secret. One of the greatest rockers of all time. Amazingly unique incredible bass player. My hero. Wow.

My dad first played Motörhead for my brother and I as kids and now I play them for my kids. 3 generations of Abrahams saying #RIPLemmy.

RIP Lemmy. You were 'freaking out the normies' before the rest of them. A complete legend is at the great whisky bar in the sky! #RIPLemmy

It's been a year of tragedy for Motorhead, after the band's drummer Phil Taylor passed away back in November.
The band had a huge leg of dates remaining - including Download Festival 2016.
