We received a petition asking:
"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Nominate Lemmy from Motorhead for a knighthood."
Details of Petition:
"Lemmy, a bastion of British Metal, thoroughly deserves to be knighted."
Read the Government’s response
Thank you for your e-petition.
Lemmy’s achievements in music are well known and respected. It is easy to see why so many people want to see his record formally recognised. This is underlined by the hundreds of people who have signed the e-petition on the No 10 website calling for him to be granted a knighthood. Your support has been carefully noted.
Members of the public can nominate individuals for honours by visiting the UK Honours System website: http://www.honours.gov.uk.
