In a new interview conducted before the death of Motorhead guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke, Phil Campbell, the band’s most recent guitarist, revealed that the surviving members plan on paying tribute to Lemmy with a series of tribute shows.
Lemmy died at age 70 on December 28, 2015, only two days after being diagnosed with cancer. His official cause of death was listed as prostate cancer, cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure.
Speaking to the podcast Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon, Campbell said, “It’s on the cards, but it’s just gonna be a few select shows. We’re not gonna be touring with it. We’re tryin’ to get these people involved and [we have to be aware of] their schedules, as well.”
“We’ll just do some special shows worldwide, which will be good — a tribute to Lem and to the band maybe, yeah,” he added, “But it wouldn’t be an ongoing thing; everyone’s too busy. But [we want to] do something special.”
“Fast” Eddie Clarke passed away last week at the age of 67 following a bout with pneumonia.
