The ballad features a performance by Lemmy on a vocal footprint that is very reminiscent of Johnny Cash in this debut single from Kay’s new album, Black & Gold, scheduled for release in October.
About this song, Lemmy started writing it in 1979 and only finished it in 2009, in a studio meeting with Kay, who only now decided to release it.

In the statement the singer said:
“BIG NEWS! The first single on my new double album Black & Gold is a the long lost duet I wrote and recorded with my dear friend Lemmy of Motörhead called “The Mask.” I’m so proud of this song, hope you enjoy it too ♠️💛”
Lemmy’s Death
On 28 December 2015, four days after his 70th birthday, Lemmy died at his apartment in Los Angeles from prostate cancer, cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure.
Motörhead announced his death on their official Facebook page later that day. According to the band, his cancer had only been diagnosed two days prior to his death.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
