Last December, the world of rock lost one of its biggest characters when Motorhead frontman Lemmy passed away at the age of 70.

His wake took place at his favourite bar on Sunset Strip, The Rainbow Bar and Grill, where he had spent many a Los Angeles night over the years.

Now, he has been immortalised with an impressive bronze statue at the venue, after a group of fans crowdfunded $22,000 to have it made by a company in Utah.

The statue was unveiled on Wednesday night at The Rainbow, as fans gathered to drink Lemmy's drink of choice, Jack & cokes, and get their picture taken with it.
