Lemmy died on December 28, 70 years old, just two days after having been notified that he had cancer.
Then it was just two weeks ago Motörhead last concert, and three weeks ago they stood on the stage in Oslo Spektrum.
On Friday Norwegian time, he was buried in the cemetery Forest Lawn in Hollywood, followed by a live memorial where family, bandmates and rock stars like Dave Grohl, Slash and Rob Halford came with a last greeting.

– He was my hero. He was not only the tough, whiskey-drinking rock star, he also had a big heart and was kind to everyone, said Grohl.
– It was an honor to be his friend. He had more integrity in one finger than a roomful of rockers. He was honest, and one hundred percent loyal, said Slash.
Meanwhile captured fans bars and sidewalks on Sunset Strip to celebrate Lemmy with flowers, cigarettes and bottles of Jack Daniels.
Outside Lemmy’s favorite, Rainbow Bar & amp; Grill, one could write a last greeting on a wall portrait.
– Lemmy taught me that it’s OK to be who I will be. Without Motörhead would not it be something Metallica or Judas Priest, it’s all here because of Lemmy. He is a true icon and a legend. I’m going to miss him, says Joe Bagnato said.

– Lemmy was king here. We have not so many landmarks in Los Angeles, but Lemmy at the bar at The Rainbow was a draw in itself, says Mark Mahoney.
Lemmy death came about the same time as the discovery of four new elements in the periodic table, and over 130,000 have now signed a petition to call one of the new heavy metal “Lemmium.”
