LONDON--Motörhead has rescheduled three December dates that it canceled after lead singer Lemmy Kilmister collapsed from exhaustion while on tour in Italy. The thrash metal group will now make up the shows in May.

The new dates are May 21 at Manchester Apollo, May 22 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall and May 23 at London Forum. All tickets already purchased are valid for the new dates, or they can be returned to the point of purchase for refunds.

According to a statement, Kilmister was on the way to a complete recovery after "getting to the end of his crate of [glucose drink] Lucozade (mixed with bourbon, no doubt.)"
