Finnish Milk Ad Starring Late Motorhead Frontman Lemmy Surfaces Online

Finnish company shares ad shot with Lemmy shortly before his passing.

Less than two weeks after the passing of Motorhead’s frontman Lemmy, an advertisement featuring the late legend has surfaced online. The commercial, which was short less than a month before his passing, is a very short clip remaking an 20-year-old Finnish ad for milk.

In the clip, Lemmy exits the gas station store and says, “I have never drunk milk and never will.” His appearance ends on a lighthearted note when he finishes his line with, “you asshole” as he turns away smiling.

The ad was later edited in post-production after hearing of his passing. A short message is displayed in the closing of the advertisement to pay tribute to Lemmy. The tribute reads:

This is offered in celebration of the life of a lovely, exceptional man—a man who celebrated life so vibrantly himself. This was our magical encounter with a great man and we’re honoured to share it with the world.

Watch the ad above.
