8 Eerie Final Interviews Dead Celebs Gave
5. Lemmy Kilmister
Lemmy Kilmister long ago joined the ranks of Keith Richard, Nikki Sixx, and Duff McKagan as a rock and roller who should have died multiple times over by the time he was 30. And yet, somehow, the Motorhead frontman spent nearly every day of his fame drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels and smoking a pack of cigarettes.
In fact, he only stopped drinking all that whiskey because his diabetes wouldn't allow for his beloved Jack and Coke's. So he switched to plain vodka.
How he lived to the ripe old age of 70 is unfathomable, and he knew how lucky he was. Talking to a German TV station, Lemmy acknowledged that his lifestyle was catching up to him, and that he probably shouldn't still be alive:
"A lot of my friends are dead who shouldn't be. But if it’s the luck of the draw. It’s random. You can’t plan your life. It doesn’t work.”
Granted, Lemmy had just been diagnosed with cancer, and knew his prognosis wasn't great, so these types of reflections are natural. But then he threatened to haunt other band's gigs, singling out new-wave band Tears For Fears...who played set up their first collection of UK tour dates in over ten years just a few months later.
