A metal music-loving couple from Germany have visited the statue of Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister as part of their 40th wedding anniversary.

Andreas and Nicole Roth who have both been metalheads since they were in their early teens, got to see Motorhead numerous times, the earliest being in 1982 when they were just 14.

They instantly fell in love with metal music and have devoted their lives to seeing as many bands as they can.

Motorhead was “the start of everything” for them, Mr Roth said, as they went on to explore the genre widely, but only managed to get close to Lemmy once.
