Motorhead frontman IAN 'LEMMY' KILMISTER has downplayed fears he intends to sell his warts on internet auction site eBAY, claiming his comments were meant as a joke.

The ACE OF SPADES singer was amazed fans took his flippant remark seriously.

Lemmy, who believes he'd only make "nine pence" (17 cents) per wart, claims the misunderstanding is down to bad reporting.

He says, "(It's) ridiculous. That was a joke I made in an interview and it's been coming back to haunt me ever since because the journalist didn't write that I was joking."
