Motorhead have
been forced to pull the rest of their summer festival appearances due to
frontman Lemmy Kilmister's ill health.
"Sometimes you can't do anything else than
follow doctor's orders," Lemmy said in a statement on the band's website.
The statement added the band "hate" to let
fans down and expect to be back "in full force" in a few months.
The six dates pulled include gigs in Germany, France
and Russia.
Motorhead had already cancelled three concerts in
June after Lemmy reportedly
suffered a haematoma - where blood collects outside of a blood vessel.
Prior to that, they played at this year's Download
Festival on the 25th anniversary of their first headline appearance at
Donington Park.
Motorhead did not give any details on the frontman's
ill health, only saying he had "some medical maintenance for the long-term
good".
"He was, at that time, advised to rest but once
feeling better, he of course resumed his life as usual," the statement
said.
"He has since been advised that he should
immediately take some more time to rest."
Lemmy added: "I'd like to thank everyone who
wished me well, it was a tough decision for me as I don't like to disappoint
the fans especially in times where economy is bad and people spent their money
to see us."
The band will release their 21st album, Aftershock,
in September.
Their forthcoming 40th anniversary is due to take
place in 2015.
