You saying that like it's a concert or something maybe they didn't want to go out of respect. Just because you did a song and a couple of shows together don't mean ya'll tight like that, can you imagine somebody showing up to someones funeral that were just acquaintances, send your condolences and keep it moving...R.I.P Pimp C...I wish the best for his friends and family
