Los Angeles artists Travis Moore has been commissioned to create a cast bronze statue of Lemmy to be erected outside the city's Rainbow Bar & Grill.

The late MOTORHEAD frontman was a regular at The Rainbow and a memorial was held at the venue on the day of Lemmy's funeral on January 9. A mural was painted on the bar's wall as a mark of respect.

 

A crowdfunding campaign was launched last month to help pay for a permanent tribute to the singer and bass player and now Moore has been told to get to work on the project.

 

The life-size cast bronze statue will stand at just over 6 foot tall and will be situated in a special shrine that's currently being constructed in the patio bar area.

 

MOORE will initially create an 18-inch version of the statue before the life-size version is cast.

 

The Download festival will rebrand its main stage as The Lemmy Stage this year and organisers are working on a tribute to replace MOTORHEAD's place on the bill.
