Last weekend it was reported that business magnate and presidential hopeful Donald Trump is set to introduce UK rockers Def Leppard at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on August 15th, two Iowa Trump campaign aides told CNN on Friday.

However, this isn’t sitting well with Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell, who has posted the following via his Facebook page: “I really, really, really hope that there's no truth to this rumour. Def Leppard have never been a political band, and if we were, I for one wouldn't be associating my name with this clown.”

The concert, which also features bands Styx and Tesla, will take place at the State Fair Grandstand on the fairgrounds in Des Moines. Stay tuned for updates.
