LOS ANGELES -- Lanky and long-haired, with mutton chops and moles, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister looked and lived like a hard-rock hero. He founded Motörhead in 1975, and continued recording and touring with the band until his death.
He began every legendary live show with the announcement, "We are Motorhead, and we play rock and roll!"
The singer and bassist died Monday at age 70 after a brief battle with aggressive cancer, said his agent Andrew Goodfriend.
