Prior to his death in 2015, Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister lived a lot of life. It's perhaps fitting, then, that his ashes have also become well-travelled; from a biker procession-led trip to a UK music venue and being blended into the ink of several tattoos to being given to his closest friends in custom-made bullets, Kilmister's remains have taken on many forms and gone many places — and their next destination may be their greatest adventure yet.

Some of the late musician's ashes will take a permanent stead at the famous London strip club, Stringfellows, which has been around since 1980. They're set to arrive at the club, where they'll be displayed in an urn shaped like Kilmister's signature cavalry hat, on December 18, with a ceremony to be attended by the band's Phil Campbell.

"Stringfellows always held a special place in Lemmy's heart," Motörhead manager Todd Singerman said [via Louder]. "He loved the rock 'n' roll spirit [owner] Peter [Stringfellow] brought to the club, he loved the relaxed environment, and he certainly loved the view. I know he's relieved he can get back to enjoying one of his favourite places on the planet!"
