Motörhead Celebrates 25 Years With London Show

LONDON--Motörhead is to play a special 25th anniversary concert at London’s Brixton Academy on October 22. The concert is titled 25 Years Doesn’t Matter Any More and will feature the line-up of Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Micky Dee, plus special guests.

The speed metal pioneers, best known for the hits "Ace of Spaces" and "Killed by Death," released their latest studio album "We Are Motörhead" on May 15, which was followed by a cover of the Sex Pistols’ "God Save the Queen" on July 31. The 40-track, two-CD "The Best of Motörhead" will be released through Sanctuary Records on Aug. 29 and will include four previously unreleased live "Motorclassics."

Before forming Motörhead, frontman Lemmy was in popular British space rock band Hawkwind. He was kicked out of the band in the spring of 1975 after spending five days in a Canadian jail for drugs possession. He formed Motörhead the same year. The father of thrash metal is also in the process of finishing his autobiography "White Line Highway," which he hopes to release next year.
