Metal legend Lemmy has died, two days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. The news was broke by his friend, Eddie Trunk:

This was the statement written on Motorhead’s Facebook page:

“There is no easy way to say this… our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from the Rainbow which had recently made it’s way down the street, with his family. We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words. We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please… play Motörhead loud.”

Lemmy was dealing with a number of health issues in recent years, causing him to quit smoking and even slow down the drinking. Motorhead was formed by Lemmy in 1975 and has gone on to sell over 30 million albums. He was a beloved member of the rock and roll world and one of the true legends to still go out, perform, and live the rock and roll lifestyle.
