One of the tour dates they did not cancel was Waken Open Air Festival and maybe they should have. it is reported that they had to cut the set short due to Lemmy’s health. They had longer pauses between songs and after one long pause, Lemmy came out for another song and never returned. It was reported on Wacken Open Air Festival the following post in German: Mehr als 30 Minuten konnten Motörhead die Black Stage rocken und Lemmy hat alles gegeben um Euch eine geile Show zu liefern.
