It looks like the plans for a statue for Lemmy Kilmister in his birthplace Burslem will become a reality. It will depict him playing bass guitar, singing up towards a raised microphone, the signature pose of the Motörhead frontman. From the BBC:
Plans for the statue in Burslem were given the go-ahead, despite concerns from police about the potential for “good-natured but potentially incident generating attention”.
The 2.25m bronze sculpture is set to be erected in Market Place in the town, once funding is secured.
It will be made from Staffordshire clay and designed by renowned local sculptor Andy Edwards, who is perhaps best-known for his statues of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor at Derby County FC and The Beatles on Liverpool's Pier Head.
