Motörheadin nykyinen kitaristi Phil Campbell sekä entinen kitaristi ”Fast” Eddie Clarke kommentoivat poissaoloaan Lemmyn hautajaisista

Englantilaisen rockin legendan Motörheadin Lemmy Kilmisterin hautajaisia vietettiin 9. päivä tammikuuta Hollywoodissa. Paikalle oli saapunut miehen läheisten lisäksi iso joukko tunnettuja rocktähtiä kuten mm. Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Gene Simmons (KISS), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Rob Halford (Judas Priest) sekä Lars Ulrich (Metallica). Tarkkaavaisimmat yhtyeen fanit huomasivat kuitenkin Motörheadin tämän hetkisen kitaristin Phil Campbellin sekä entisen kitaristin ”Fast” Eddie Clarken puuttuneen hautajaisista kokonaan. Miehet ovat kummatkin nyt julkaisseet virallisen tiedotteen poissaoloonsa rocklegendan hautajaisista ja voit lukea ne tästä aloittaen Phil Campbellin tiedotteesta:

”Amazing service for Lem the other day, everyone there spoke beautifully. I really wanted to attend but I wasn’t able to make it. Unfortunately, I was advised on doctor’s orders not to fly on such a long haul flight due to my recent hospitalisation. I’m doing well though and I managed to watch the whole service via the online stream, so thanks to the MOTÖRHEAD team for organising that.”

Fast Eddie Clarke on kommentoinut seuraavasti poissaoloaan Lemmyn hautajaisista:

”I have been a bit quiet lately…I was unable to get a visa to go to Lemmy’s funeral. I have past sins, which means it takes longer for me to get a visa and with being Christmas, there wasn’t enough time…

”I watched it online last night. I thought everyone did very well. Todd [Singerman, MOTÖRHEAD manager] did an amazing job as compere. I thought [Lemmy’s] son, Paul, spoke magnificently and [MOTÖRHEAD drummer] Mikkey Dee followed up well. It all reminded me of what a great man Lemmy was and how much he lived for his music and MOTÖRHEAD and the fans.

”It was great to see the picture of the old band with Phil in the middle. They were great days and I miss them both.
