Lemmy is a legend, no one can compare to him.
"The simple truth is Lemmy's the classic rock-and-roll juggernaut who has proudly defied human logic for decades, but even juggernauts need a bit of maintenance once in a while."
"When you're dealing with a warhorse like Lemmy, it's not easy to discuss typical normal healthy things, such as a balanced diet and proper fluid intake," Motörhead manager Todd Singerman explained in a statement issued Tuesday afternoon (July 5). "Look, one time when I spoke to him about the importance of vegetables in a diet, he looked me straight in the eye and said, 'What are you talking about, Todd? These [potato chips] here are part of the vegetable food group.' So imagine telling him he needs to drink more water because it's a crazy hot summer in Europe — although in fairness to Lemmy, he did start making an effort by adding extra ice cubes to his Jack and Coke."
The band's drummer, Mikkey Dee, said Motörhead have been playing in 100-plus degree heat during some of their most recent gigs, but you wouldn't have known it by the way Kilmister's been acting.
"I'm having to drink eight bottles of Gatorade as well as water just to get through these shows. I'm close to passing out," he said in the statement. "And there's Lemmy sweating his ass off, drinking his Jack and Coke."
