Mötorhead are considered legends in rock music and many fans were saddened when they stopped touring years ago following Lemmy Kilmister's death. More recently, drummer Mikkey Dee reveals whether the band will get together again in the future for concerts.
Speaking to The Metal Voice, the musician immediately said "No" when asked about a potential reunion tour. The reason why he's opposed to the idea of performing after the frontman's death is that the fans wouldn't want them to do it.
Dee noted that holding concert events is "stepping over the line" and they would never tour in the future and bring someone to replace the late singer.
"We will never, ever, ever tour with Motörhead as a name ever and bring someone else in [to play Lemmy's parts]. That will never happen," he added. (via Q104.3)
Although Motörhead has no plans of touring in the future, he later clarified that what they're doing at the moment is playing a few shows "here and there."
More recently, Dee performed songs from his band along with other musicians and he enjoyed playing some of their classic hits.

However, in his defense, the drummer noted the performance has nothing to do with his original band because it was not advertised as Motörhead, but rather "Mikkey Dee With Friends."
Speaking about other bands who chose to continue their legacy despite having a deceased member, the musician said he doesn't have any problem with it as long as it's done correctly.
"it has to be done in a respectful and tasteful manner. And I won't mention any bands or names here, but everyone does not do that, and they're kind of overstepping, where it kind of becomes so obvious that there only is money that they're out for." he noted.

In a previous statement, the band revealed that he died at his home, sitting in front of his favorite video game with his family surrounding him.
Throughout his career as Motörhead's frontman, the group was able to release 23 studio albums. Their most popular song was the "Ace of Spades" released in 1980.
