While 2018 may not have been a great year for heavy metal fans down on Earth, it must have been a fantastic one in the afterlife, where Motorhead are finally reunited. The final remaining member of the original Motorhead lineup, Eddie Clarke, left us this year, following Lemmy Kilmister and Phil Taylor who have died in previous years.
Clarke was nicknamed "fast" because of his incredible agility when playing the guitar. Although he'll always be best known for his time in the band, that isn't to say he didn't have his own musical interests. He recorded and released solo albums away from Motorhead and also worked as a producer for many newer and younger artists. He'd been hospitalized with pneumonia towards the start of the year, and sadly it wasn't a battle he was able to win. Clarke was 67.
