DEF LEPPARD Guitarist VIVIAN CAMPBELL Back Home After Cancer Treatment - "So Glad That's Over"
November 12, 2014, 10 years ago
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell is back home, after a radical stem-cell procedure to fight his Hodgkin's lymphoma. He expected to be in hospital until the end of 2014, but has now issued the following update:
"Home... So glad that's over. Time to recover/recuperate and grow some hair. Thanks for all the love you've sent - much appreciated! Normal service will be resumed shortly."
Prior to his operation, Vivian stated: "While I can’t say that I’m looking forward to the process ahead, I’m very much looking forward to what I feel will be a most successful outcome. Next year will be very busy for Def Leppard with a new album and a world tour, and frankly, I don’t think they would sound as loud without me, so I have no intention of letting the team down!"
