Today, Saturday Jan 9th, legendary rock icon Lemmy Kilmister will be laid to rest.
The original plan was a 12 hour continuous memorial party to be hosted at Lemmy's favorite hangout, The Rainbow on Sunset Strip.
Due to overwhelming response, now other bars up and down Sunset will help to handle the overflow as throngs of Motorhead fans from around the world descend on Hollywood.
The actual funeral service will be a more private event for family and close friends at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery.
The funeral service will be broadcast on Motorhead's Youtube channel at 4:30pm central time / 2:30pm pacific time so fans around the world can be a part of it.
I personally don't ever remember another famous rock star having this large of a send off party, and you can be sure there will be a who's who of rock legends in attendance.
