December 4, 2013, 10 years ago
DEF LEPPARD guitarist Vivian Campbell has posted the following update:
"A few peeps have asked questions about my upcoming recordings, so here are some of the facts: I'm making a rock record (lots of guitar). I intend to sing, however, I may ask a real singer to help out if I fail miserably at the demo stages. I'm also writing for Def Leppard (we all are) as Leppard will be recording new music in February. So, all in all it's a busy time creatively."
Yesterday (December 3rd) Campbell posted: "I got together with Lou Castro and Glen Sobel today to run through five songs for my new record. We'll be cutting demo tracks December 16th. Big excitement! Well, it is for me, at least..."
This past June, Campbell announced he had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma - a type of cancer originating from white blood cells - and had since undergone numerous chemotherapy treatments throughout the summer.
In November Campbell checked in with the following health update: "For anyone who gives a toss, after doing another PET scan and all the other follow up tests, then getting a second opinion etc., I'm officially in remission from Hodgies. That's the good news. The bad news is: I no longer have an excuse to not go to the gym."
