Campbell didn't fade away. In 2016, he formed Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, releasing "Old Lions Still Roar" in 2019. A European tour was planned for this year but canceled due to his deteriorating health.

Campbell joined Motörhead in 1984 alongside Michael "Würzel" Burston, becoming part of the band's iconic dual-guitar attack. When Burston left in 1995, Campbell stayed as the sole guitarist, anchoring the band's sound until the very end.
