Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard announced some big news: after a twelve-year battle with cancer, the guitarist is in "complete remission." He was first diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2013. Campbell told "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" last week that he'd been "through the mill with all sorts of chemo and immunotherapy and combination therapies," even having a stem cell transplant with his own cells, which "didn't work." Eventually, "the doctors told me really my only chance for [a] cure was to do a donor [stem cell] transplant. And that's exactly what I did." And the last-ditch effort worked; Campbell said "I don't get to know who (the donor) is for a couple of years," adding, "I'm gonna buy him a beer - or two or three."
Def Leppard will play a sold out show at Lucas Oil Live, Winstar World Casino, in Thackerville, Oklahoma this Saturday, June 21st.
