The Kings of the Road Tour was a concert tour performed by the heavy metal band Motörhead in support of their album, The Wörld Is Yours.
Background
During their show at the
Lemmy Kilmister's health, playing only 6 songs in what was supposed to be a 75-minute setlist. Motörhead later posted on their Facebook page: "The show had to go on because that's how Lemmy rolls. Even though he was not 100% fit, he refused to feel he was letting the 85,000 Wacken fans down. They kicked ass in the 100-plus-degree heat for a shortened, but powerful, set before Lemmy finally realized he might have bitten off a little more than he could chew. Thus, he will embark upon the recuperation recommended. We know that rumors are flying around, but once he fully recharges, Motörhead will be back, don't you worry!"[1] During their setlist at Download Festival, former Motorhead drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor came up on stage after the set.[2]
