Motorhead have announced the details of their rescheduled UK and European tour after dates were postponed to allow frontman Lemmy to recover from his health issues. See full dates and ticket details below.
The dates that were pencilled in to promote Motorhead's new album Aftershock were initially cancelled earlier this year after Lemmy suffered a haematoma. Any further details of the ailment are as yet unknown, but it follows on from the singer being fitted with a defibrilator because of previous heart problems.
In a statement on the band's website last week, Lemmy addressed the current issues with the tour schedule and his health in a letter to fans.
"We have made the decision because I am not quite ready to hit the road yet, and am working my way back to full fitness and rude health," said Lemmy.

He continued: "Don't worry - I'm not about to start promoting veganism and alcohol-free beverages, but it is fair to say that I personally have been reconfiguring areas of my life to make sure I can come back fitter and stronger than ever. It disappointed me tremendously to have to say I wasn't quite ready to hit the road yet, but not nearly as much as it would've disappointed me to go out, play some average shows and watch my health give way long before the tour was over. When people come to see a Motörhead tour, they expect a Motörhead show, and that is exactly what you will get as soon as I am fit and ready to rumble."
