Lemmy was "living full-on rock and roll"

Music journalist John Robb has paid tribute to Motorhead front man, Lemmy, saying that "every band respected him".

The singer and bassist has died, aged 70, after a short battle with cancer. Recalling interviewing him, John told 5live that Lemmy had "been round the block" more than anyone else" and had "hours of great stories".

You could see Lemmy "was living full on a 100% rock and roll," says John. Yet despite the gruff exterior, John says the rock icon also had a "gentle" side.
