Last week, Motörhead released a special music video for "(We Are) The Roadcrew" to benefit Live Nation's Crew Nation, which raises funds for touring and venue crews who are experiencing difficult financial times due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Now, Motörhead is asking fans to pay tribute to their favorite roadies by creating their own tribute photos or videos and sharing them with the band on social media.

"Whether you're in a band or a fan, whether you're in London, Los Angeles or Lagos, wherever you are and whoever you are, create your own photo and video tributes, from 10-second homages to full-length productions, with (We Are) The Road Crew reminding everyone how amazing these unsung heroes are," the band said in a statement.

“Then share your tributes with the world via our social media – Instagram, Facebook or Twitter – and also your own outlets, in the process encouraging others to cut loose and do the same!" they added. "Have fun, be loud and show road crews worldwide your appreciation for all that they do! And remember, every time the song gets streamed for the next year, Live Nation's Crew Nation charity receives the proceeds!"
