Guitarist Michael “Würzel” Burston, a prominent member of British rock-metal band Motörhead, died Saturday from heart disease at the age of 61.
Burston joined the group in 1984 and lent his musical talents to noteworthy albums as Orgasmatron and March ör Die before departing in 1996.
On top of his lightning-fast abilities on a six-string, he also made an impression on his bandmates and fans by way of his comedic personality.
In addition to a couple of solo projects, Michael Burston had also recently formed the band Leader of Down. May this hard rocker rest in peace.
