German postal service honours Lemmy, of Motorhead

Deutsche Post, the German postal service, has issued the world’s first stamps honouring late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.

Five different images of the iconic heavy metal singer are featured in the book of 10 stamps, which will be available to purchase until next month; however, only 7,777 books (in homage to the singer’s “lucky seven”) will be printed.

The English rocker died Dec. 28, 2015, four days after his 70th birthday.
