Yeah... looks like somebody up there was putting the band back together.

The original Motörhead lineup is now dead. All three.

There might be something to be said about the psychological side as well. The guy basically lived with Motorhead his whole life. With Lemmy gone and Motorhead disolved, it's like his whole life became pointless. It's like in those stories where the husband dies soon after the wife or vice-versa.

Well, he left the band already in 1982.
