A campaign to have a statue of Motorhead icon Lemmy created and placed in his home city of Stoke-On-Trent is seeking crowdfunding help to make it a reality.

Lemmy, who died in December 2015, sat to have his measurements taken for the planned sculpture while on the road with the band in 2012 and had his full approval.

The project is the brainchild of Staffordshire University graduate Nile Plumb, who told the BBC: “There’s a lot of interest and people really want to get behind it. The musical genius of Lemmy is something for this community to celebrate.”
