The heaviest drinking, most oversexed speed freak in the music business tells his story: “An emblem of rock ’n’ roll endurance.” —The New York Times
 
Ian Fraser Kilmister was born on Christmas Eve, 1945. Learning from an early age that chicks really do appreciate a guy with a guitar, and inspired by the music of Elvis and Buddy Holly, Lemmy quickly outgrew his local bands in Wales, choosing instead to head to Manchester to experience everything he could get his hands on. And he never looked back.
 
Lemmy tripped through his early career with the Rocking Vicars, backstage touring with Jimi Hendrix, as a member of Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind. In 1975, he went on to create speed metal and form the legendary band Motorhead. During their long history, they released over twenty albums, were nominated for a Grammy, and conquered the rock world with such songs as “Ace of Spades,” “Bomber,” and “Overkill.” Throughout the creation of this impressive discography, the Motorhead lineup has seen many changes, but Lemmy was always firmly at the helm.
 
White Line Fever, a headbanging tour of the excesses of a man being true to his music and his pleasures, offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, but always highly entertaining ride with the frontman of the loudest rock band in the world.

LEMMY KILMISTER was born in Stoke-on-Trent. Having been a member of the Rocking Vicars, Opal Butterfly and Hawkwind, Lemmy formed his own band, Motörhead. For the next 40 years, Lemmy led Motörhead through various lineups, countless world tours, over 20 studio albums, and more adventures than most rockers have in a dozen lifetimes. Motörhead's run lasted until just two months before Lemmy died at the age of 70 on December 28, 2015. His memorial service was held at the Rainbow, the oldest rock‘n’roll bar in Hollywood.
