We can only imagine how shocked fans were to learn about the No Class singer’s death, especially via social media. Still, Lemmy’s beloved band took to Facebook to share that Lemmy died after a brief battle with an aggressive cancer.
Apparently, the English rockstar was given his diagnosis on December 26. The group posted:

Tissues, anyone??
However, it appears we aren’t the only ones shocked by this unfortunate news as several A-listers took to Twitter and Instagram to pay tribute to the rock icon — including Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, Juliette Lewis, and many more.
