Lemmy Kilmister

Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (born Ian Fraser Kilmister, December 24 1945, also known as Ian Fraser Willis) is an English bass player and singer. He is known primarily as the founding member and leader of the heavy metal band Motörhead. His unmistakable appearance, with his facial warts, lank hair and gravelly voice have made him a cult figure known well beyond the world of rock music.

Sexuality

In an article for BraveWorlds.com, Lemmy is claimed to have admitted to being bisexual. The article was entirely removed from the website shortly after its appearance. It was reportedly a hoax by 'Blabbermouth' who say "the article, which credited VH1.com as its original source, is thought to have started in a May 20, 2005 posting on the band's official forum, but regained strength when it was republished on several other sites, including a Dutch metal webzine". Blabbermouth credit themselves with being the informants of the article's inauthenticity: blabbermouth article.

Appearing in a Channel 4 documentary called "Motorhead: Live Fast, Die Old" broadcast on August 22, 2005, it was claimed that Lemmy "had bedded" in excess of 2,000 women. In the documentary Lemmy also explained that while in school (at the end of term) he noticed a lad who had brought a guitar to school and had been "surrounded by chicks", Lemmy's mother had a guitar which he then took to school, even though he couldn't play, and was himself surrounded by girls, and from then on "that was it".
