We usually don't need to keep statements from a closed bank account because, once an account is closed, no transactions can be done on it. So even if someone wants to impersonate you, they cannot use the account that you just closed. But it is always a good habit to keep atleast one or two statements of the account that you just closed in order to utilize for future reference purposes for yourself.

Is it possible to obtain a bank statement from a closed bank account even if your not a customer any more?

It will depend on the country and bank, but many countries require banks to maintain financial information for many years, even if accounts are closed. Most often these statements can be acquired, often at a fee. If they do not offer such a service, it might require a court order of sorts to acquire this information about a closed account you used to own.
