The heavy metal legends have pushed the dates for their November tour back three months after Lemmy posted a personal message on the band’s official website, saying he isn’t ready to hit the road yet and will be working his way “back to full fitness and rude health.” He also added “I’m not about to start promoting veganism and alcohol-free beverages, but it is fair to say that I personally have been reconfiguring areas of my life to make sure I can come back fitter and stronger than ever.”

Lemmy went on to say ” it would’ve disappointed me to go out, play some average shows and watch my health give way long before the tour was over! When people come to see a Motörhead tour, they expect a Motörhead show, and that is exactly what you will get as soon as I am fit and ready to rumble.”

Motorhead had to cancel the remainder of their European tour earlier this year after Lemmy was reported to have been suffering from a haematoma, and it was revealed that he had been fitted with a defibrillator due to an ongoing cardiac condition.

The November tour is to support their latest release, Aftershock, which came out in September. Luckily for fans, tickets that have already been purchased will still be valid when the tour is set to restart in February.
