MOTORHEAD Didn't Even Make It To The Stage In Denver Before Canceling Their Show

I have a feeling SLC and Denver won't be getting any Motorhead gigis from now on.

I have a feeling SLC and Denver won't be getting any Motorhead gigis from now on.

Remember how on Friday we said that Motorhead had to cancel their Salt Lake City show after four songs, because the air was too thin for Lemmy to perform? At the time, we noticed their next date was in Denver and questioned how Lemmy would perform in a town where the air is even thinner than SLC?

Well, turns out he wouldn't perform and he wouldn't even try. Late Friday night, the band posted the following to their Facebook page:

"The Rocky Mountain High has affected Lemmy like the high altitude of Salt Lake City. It's been quite a while since Lemmy was this 'high' in the U.S., and thus having got a burst of altitude sickness (which made it hard for him to breathe and sing properly), he has very reluctantly decided not perform in Denver. Lemmy is really sorry and wants to thank the fans for their support and trust. He looks forward to the next-up Texas shows…at low elevations."

Thankfully, Lemmy had the weekend to rest. The band's next scheduled show is tomorrow, Sept. 1st in Austin, TX.

Let's hope the band doesn't have to cancel any further gigs. See all of Motorhead's remaining tour dates here.
