On November 30, it was announced that Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell was in the hospital and the band would have to forgo some live performances. Later in the day, some sources claimed that Phil had died and naturally we had to put the kibosh on that whole thing.
While we're still not too sure what exactly happened with Phil, not that it's any of our business, we do know now that he's doing alright! The band posted the following statement:
“We just wanted to say a hearty THANK YOU to ALL our loyal Motörheadbanging fans for their support, understanding and community right now. It has obviously not been an easy time and with Phil recovering well, we are all doing everything we can to keep roaring right now. Your understanding and support is golden and very much appreciated. Again, THANK YOU!”
Phil made his return to the stage last night in Gothenburg, and based on this one video we found from the event, he hasn't missed a step…
