MOTORHEAD: MOTORHEAD ISSUE STATEMENT ON PASSING OF FORMER GUITARIST Michael "Würzel" Burston


UK metal legends MOTORHEAD have issued a statement on the passing of former guitarist
Michael "Würzel" Burston:
FROM MOTORHEAD: "We are greatly saddened to confirm that our long-time friend and comrade Würzel died Saturday at his home. Würz was pouring a Guinness and cracking a joke when he succumbed to a heart attack; at least we know he went with a smile.

"It is a cliché to say that words cannot describe how we feel, and in this case, other than ones such as 'shit' and 'awful' and 'very, very sad,' it is true, they really can't. We all shared many many great times together, and what he did for MOTÖRHEAD is quite simply indelible.

"As our good friend Steve 'Krusher' Joule said, 'RIP, dear Würzel, a rocker and a gentleman.'"

MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister added: "Wurzel was my friend and my brother and he's never going to laugh with me again or bitch me out or do….anything. And that truly and cosmically SUCKS.

"RIP Wurz. Godspeed. Good man."

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l- R.I.P Michael "Würzel" Burston
