MOTÖRHEAD Announces “MotörBoat Cruise”
Wednesday, 19th February 2014
MOTÖRHEAD has announced their cruise, the MotörBoat, set to sail this fall. The cruise will sail from Miami, FL to Key West and Cozumel. Details on cruise dates, artist lineup and more can be found on the cruise’s Facebook page.
The band was previously forced to cancel its announced European tour, originally rescheduled from last fall.
“It is with great regret that MOTÖRHEAD has to announce the cancellation of their European tour, scheduled to start February, 2014,” reads a statement from the band.
“Many concerted, diligent and focused efforts were made by founding member, and international icon Lemmy Kilmister to deal with a range of health issues relating to diabetes. While there has been undoubted progress, Lemmy and the band were advised by doctors that it was still too soon to resume full touring activities, and so for the good of the future, the band and Lemmy reluctantly agreed to cancel.
“No one is hurting more over this than Lemmy, and he feels the aggravation and inconvenience of every ticket, and every method of transportation, already paid for by loyal fans in anticipation of the tour. Being a road warrior of over 50 dedicated, non-stop years, it is equally distressing for him to be unable to occupy the top lounge of the trusty tour bus (his spiritual home) but Lemmy recognizes that his long-term health must win. It goes without saying that Lemmy profusely apologises for inconveniences caused, but he does want everyone to know that he is continuing on the road to a full recovery, and that the prognosis long term is very good.”
The band’s most recent album, Aftershock, was released last fall.
