JAKARTA - To celebrate the 76th birthday of Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister, the YouTube channel Motorhead released an unpublished concert video.

This concert was recorded on the Snake Bite Love tour in 1998 and released as part of Motörhead's project, The Löst Tapes series.

As is known, Lemmy died in December 2015 at the age of 70 shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.

He had experienced a number of health problems during the last few years of his life, including heart problems that forced him to give up smoking.

Motörhead had to cancel a number of shows in 2015 due to Lemmy's ill health, although the band managed to complete one last European tour a few weeks before his death.

In June 2020, it was announced that a biopic about Lemmy would be made. Titled Lemmy, the film is directed by Greg Olliver who previously directed the 2010 documentary of the same name, Lemmy.

Lemmy will follow Kilmister's life growing up in Stoke-on-Trent, being a roadie to Jimi Hendrix and members of the seminal psychedelic rock band Hawkwind before forming Motörhead.

A custom-made urn containing Lemmy's ashes is permanently displayed in a columbarium at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

If still alive, Lemmy turned 76 years old on December 24 yesterday.
