Motörhead’s Mikkey Dee Details Near-Death Sepsis Diagnosis
"Another day and I'd be playing drums with Lemmy in heaven," Mikkey Dee said of his near-death experience.
The Swedish percussionist shared news of his health scare on social media on Thursday (Dec. 2), explaining that he had been hospitalized following a blood infection he described as “very serious”. First rising to fame as a member of Danish outfit King Diamond in the ’80s, a stint with Don Dokken saw Dee recruited by Motörhead to replace Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor on drums. Mikkey Dee, Ian Fraser Kilmister and Phil Campbell of Motorhead attend The 57th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on Feb. 8, 2015 in Los Angeles.
