MOTÖRHEAD’s Lemmy Kilmister seems to be feeling the miles after countless years of hard living, according to his comments in a brand new interview with The New York Times. The 67 year old has been forced to downshift since suffering a severe hematoma and undergoing heart surgery to have a pacemaker fitted earlier this year.
When asked how he’s feeling after recently canceling a European tour due to health issues, the iconic rock partier showed a streak of mortality we’re unaccustomed to seeing on the veteran.
“I just feel really down,” Lemmy said. “I’ll never get a job again. I’m paying for the good times, I suppose. It’s a mixture of all the things I ever did — and I did plenty.”
Does this mean he’ll have to stop drinking? He’s already on his way, by the sound of it. “I’ve already given up smoking. I drink wine and that’s it,” he explained.
Lemmy also touched on his relationship with his late father, whom he once called a “nasty little weasel.”
“No, he died nine years back,” Lemmy said. “We didn’t run through the cornfields to each other in slow motion.”
