VIVIAN CAMPBELL On DEF LEPPARD Bandmate JOE ELLIOTT’s Vocal Issues - “He’s Really Had To Work Hard On Recuperation And Getting His Voice Back”

In the final part of Eonmusic’s interview with Vivian Campbell, the guitarist reveals that Joe Elliott's vocal issues that arose on Def Leppard's Hysteria On The High Seas cruise have caused the singer serious problems.

“Joe completely lost his voice on the cruise,” says Vivian, “so it was the cruise from hell. It didn’t go well. It was certainly the most interesting Def Leppard show ever; I sang, Phil Collin sang a bit, Kip Winger and Eric Martin were also on the cruise doing separate shows, and they got up and sang a couple of songs. But the real saviour of the day was the guy next door, Andrew Freeman, who knows every song; he’s such a chameleon, he knocked it out of the park. He came on and he sang, and I think Joe, he worried, actually! (laughing) He did a great job, and it was an interesting show. It’s a lot of pressure ever since for Joe; he’s really had to work hard on recuperation and getting his voice back, but he’s doing good.”
