Germany just took the lead for the non-existent Most Metal Country award. That's because it's postal service, Deutsche Post and the German newspaper Bild have partnered to produce a range of stamps of late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.
The newspaper explains why they chose to honor Lemmy, whom they called "a great artist, a gentleman, an honest and loyal person, an icon for many and an inspiration for his fellow artists and fans."
"The German official post office Deutsche Post together with Bild are honoring our beloved late Lemmy Kilmister with an official set of German postage stamps for standard-size letter. One stamp package contains ten stamps, five Lemmy motifs in total and everyone can compile the stamps the way they like. These stamps are limited to 7777 — Lemmy's lucky seven — and will be available for four weeks only, between May 17 and June 17."
Here's a look at the entire book:
You can grab your own book of Lemmy stamps for €10 via the Bild web site.
