While this past Saturday was a huge celebration for the life of Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, that was watched worldwide and then everybody proceeded to party on the Sunset Strip.
Two names were notably missing, and both were Motorhead guitarists… "Fast" Eddie Clark and Phil Campbell. Turns out both had some valid reasons for missing it:
Campbell, who was the last Motorhead guitarist, has been dealing with health issues of his own, revealed that doctors advised him not to travel:
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 doctors 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

Meanwhile, Clark revealed that past arrests prevented him from securing a visa in time for the service:
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…
