DEF LEPPARD has tapped TRIXTER guitarist Steve Brown to fill in for Vivian Campbell while Vivian is undergoing stem-cell treatment in his continuing battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Brown will make his live debut with DEF LEPPARD at the pre-game show at the first of this year’s three NFL International Series games on Sunday, September 28, when the Oakland Raiders host the Miami Dolphins. He will also perform with DEF LEPPARD in Santa Ynez, Rancho Mirage and Temecula in late October and early November.
Campbell — who before joining DEF LEPPARD in 1992 was well known for his work with DIO and WHITESNAKE — went public with his Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis last summer, but announced in November that he was in remission.
The term “remission” means that the symptoms of the cancer have either been eliminated or reduced. When the tumor is completely gone, doctors call it “complete remission.”
However, Campbell revealed earlier in the year that the cancer had returned and he was battling the disease with a new high-tech chemo treatment.
In a message to fans on DEF LEPPARD’s official web site, Campbell wrote: “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!”

Keen to see a video or hear what song they played if anyone finds it please post it..
Also get well soon Viv…

It does appear to be an EVH guitar. I can see the scalloped headstock.

Probably is. He appears to be featured on the EVH Facebook page.
