Lemmy From Motorhead Was Close To Death

(TeamRock Radio) Motorhead mainman Lemmy has admitted he was "close to death" during his last round of surgery - and it was the only moment he doubted he'd survive his 2013 health issues.

He describes his life as "undeniably less pleasurable" since he was forced to clean up his lifestyle. And he's recalled how he faced his final cigarette after 57 years of smoking.

The 68-year-old spent much of last year recuperating from a series of health setbacks which included several weeks in hospital after he suffered internal bleeding. He'd earlier been fitted with a defibrillator to deal with heart problems.

Lemmy tells Lust For Life: "During my last surgery I was close to death. It was the only moment I was stalked by the devil called doubt. I wondered if I'd make it.

"I'm not afraid of death - I often sing about it. So I wasn't shaking in my bed, but I did have the feeling I wasn't done yet. I still wanted to do shows and make records. That feeling pulled me through all this." Read more here.
