Book Synopsis

''Unflinching, forthright and full of wry humour as the man himself, and there''s little praise greater than that'' CLASSIC ROCK

''Wall''s vision of Lemmy as a Rock''n''Roll stalwart who made no concessions is vivid to the last'' GUARDIAN

In ''The Ace of Spades'', Motörhead''s most famous song, Lemmy, the born-to-lose, live-to-win frontman of the band sang, ''I don''t want to live forever''. Yet as he told his friend of 35 years, former PR and biographer Mick Wall, ''Actually, I want to go the day before forever. To avoid the rush...''. This is his strange but true story.

Brutally frank, painfully funny, wincingly sad, and always beautifully told, LEMMY: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY is the story of the only rock''n''roller never to sell his soul for silver and gold, while keeping the devil, as he put it, ''very close to my side''. From school days growing up in North Wales, to first finding fame in the mid-60s with the Rockin'' Vicars; from being Jim
