Motörhead fans have much to cheer about in 2025. In celebration of the band’s golden jubilee, a series of releases and events have been announced, starting February 28 with limited vinyl editions of Motörhead’s legendary albums; Overkill, Bomber and Ace Of Spades.
All have been cut as half speed masters, pressed in special colour configurations and include an exclusive poster.
The iconic hard rockers, who sold over 25 million albums during their chaotic (and extremely loud) career, enjoyed a brand new UK top 10 single in October 2024 with ‘Lawman’, racking up over 320 million streams globally, claimed 20 million listeners on Spotify, and scored over 112 million views on YouTube.

“It’s incredible to know that our music, and all it stands for, continues to resonate with so many people,” says guitarist Phil Campbell, “of course we’re enormously grateful to still be appreciated like we are, and truthfully, the music remains as vital and important as ever because there’s a unique energy and honesty to it that we will all always need.”
“It’s a remarkable story, the connection we have with our fans can only be described as family and it’s so exciting to see the family still growing,” says drummer Mikkey Dee, who joined the band between 1992 – 2015. “But it also makes sense, because people know who we are and what the music is about. Motörhead has always stood for doing it our way, it’s timeless, and continues to inspire people to take that path.”
On May 8, deemed International Motörhead Day, a special Lemmy Forever ashes event is scheduled to take place: the unveiling of a Lemmy Kilmister statue in his birthplace of Stoke-On-Trent. The sculptor of the piece is British artist Andy Edwards (who has previously created statues of The Beatles, Bob Marley, and The Bee Gees among others). Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell will place the ashes and lead the celebrations.
“This new statue of Lem is special, not just because I share the same birthplace as him or because of how much he personally means to me, but because it’s so important to have a permanent international landmark celebrating him where he was born,” says the sculptor. “Lemmy gave me joy, confidence in myself, and energy, and he’s also an avatar of the original spirit and power of Rock n Roll. I really hope it will become a meeting place for people from all over the world to take the journey to.”
“To be able to see Lemmy further immortalized in his place of birth by Andy’s amazing statue is a huge deal,” says manager Todd Singerman. “This man left the building 10 years ago, yet he remains not only with us, but is even more popular than ever. It’s because Lemmy stood for honesty, integrity, inclusion, and making the greatest, loudest rock’n’roll possible. Let’s face it, there is only one Lemmy and the world continues to celebrate him and his music loudly and proudly.”
The remastered vinyl releases of Motörhead’s Overkill, Bomber and Ace Of Spades albums are available to preorder through Rough Trade, priced at £29.99 each.
