Late Motörhead star Lemmy appears in Finnish milk commercialLate Motörhead founder Lemmy Kilmister has appeared posthumously in a milk advert in Finland. The legendary rocker died aged 70 in late December as a result of cancer. Before his death, the Brit teamed up with Finnish dairy company Valio to film an advert. However, Kilmister died during post-production of the commercial - encouraging its makers to use unscripted footage not meant for broadcast in tribute. The musician says in the clip: "I have never drunk milk and never will. You asshole." The advert adds: "Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister 1945-2015. We raise our glasses to you. "We are profoundly grateful to have worked with him and that Lemmy’s management feel good about the result. "We discussed not airing the ad but had footage that was not part of the original script, which crystallised Lemmy’s spirit, so we agreed to change it and make a tribute.” Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
