Ozzy Osbourne Remembers Lemmy: ‘He Was My Hero’
To be honest with you, I think doing the gigs kept him going. He worked until the very end. It gave him something to get out of bed for. He was playing in Germany recently. He must have known he was very ill.
We did some gigs in South America with him in April, I remember my wife saying, “You should have seen Lemmy. He’s lost a lot of weight and he really doesn’t look too well.” I was constantly texting him, saying, “If you need anything, call me.” I was just looking at my phone, and there was a message from him that said, “Thanks for caring.”
“He was a character. There ain’t many characters in music today.”
I’ll miss him so much. We all will. There’s a big hole in the music industry as far as I’m concerned.
He was a character. There ain’t many characters in music today. I mean, you’ve got Miley Cyrus, OK, but there’s not many characters in the game anymore. But he was definitely a character. An original. He lived the lifestyle. Sex, drugs and rock & roll, that was Lemmy.

You know what? There goes a hero for me. He was my hero. He was fucking great, a good friend. I’m missing him already. I’ll never forget him. I don’t think a lot of people will forget Lemmy. He’ll be so missed in my camp. He was a good guy, a good man, a good friend of mine. He was just a fucking great dude, man. Not enough time for him.
God bless you, Lemmy. I’m so honored to have you a part of my life.
