    Lemmy's ashes will be housed in an urn at his favourite London strip club

    Since the legendary Motörhead and Hawkwind star died in December 2015 aged 70, his remains have been scattered in some of the places he loved most, including his beloved Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood and Bloodstock Festival in England, and now, Lemmy is returning to his favourite adult entertainment spot this side of the pond, Stringfellows


    A replica of his urn at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood, featuring his signature cowboy-style hat, will go on permanent display at Stringfellows with a ceremony set for December 18.

    Motörhead manager Todd Singerman told The Sun: "He loved the relaxed environment - and he certainly loved the view. I know he's relieved he can get back to enjoying one of his favourite places."

    Lemmy's Motörhead bandmate Phil Campbell is set to attend the ceremony next month.

    As well as being scattered at places he loved, Lemmy's ashes were also used to create tattoos for the band's tour manager and production assistant, while Lemmy is also said to have requested them to be placed inside bullets and given to his loved ones.

    Some of his remains were also scattered at the Wacken Open Air Festival in northern Germany, where the band played many times over the years - with organisers putting on a special 'Lemmy Forever' memorial in his honour.

    Festival co-organiser Thomas Jensen said: "Lemmy coming back to Wacken is an enormous honour for us - words can hardly express how enormous. We will create a place of remembrance for him that does justice to his significance for an entire genre and beyond.

    "There has always been a special connection between Motörhead and Wacken Open Air; hardly any band has played here more often. The fact that his journey also ends here will forever hold a special meaning."
