Sad and bewildering news. How can Lemmy Kilmister be dead?

From Motorhead's Facebook Page

There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from The Rainbow which had recently made it’s way down the street, with his family.

We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words.

We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please…play Motörhead loud, play Hawkwind loud, play Lemmy’s music LOUD.

Have a drink or few.

Share stories.

Celebrate the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself.

HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.

J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot are restoring PHANTASM! That's awesome!

It also gave us one of the great horror heroes in the form of Reggie Bannister. It’s available on DVD, as are its sequels, but a Blu-ray release has never been announced.

But now, Ain’t It Cool News reports the film is getting a 4K restoration thanks to J.J. Abrams‘s production company Bad Robot. Abrams cited the film as his inspiration for naming Gwendoline Christie‘s Star Wars character Phasma; the armor she wears reminded him of the strange spheres used in Phantasm...
