It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

I wonder if the farewell show was put together because everyone knew he was out of time. The bands that showed up are a testament to the man's influence.
He's clearly been on the decline for a while. While no one knows when they will die, it was very obvious that he wasn't going to be able to perform much longer. Even his farewell show was hard to watch because of the difficulties he was having. He could've lived for years after, but there was no chance of another event where he performed.
